Solution

  • You're reading from f twice, both when calling f.readline() and in the for loop for i in f

    This causes the program to first read the first line of the file (and setting the variable i to the value) and then printing the next line it reads.

    Your code should probably look like this instead:

    for i in f:
    print(i)
