the description of what you need to do is straightforward, `open` the file, `read` it and `count('.')` the dots. – Dimitris Fasarakis Hilliard Sep 12 '16 at 13:08

try as follow
with open('file.txt') as f:
file_content = f.read()
result = file_content.count('.')
result will be the number of periods.
