How to handle or skip end‐of‐line characters

[nana pink]

I am trying to read from a txt file and counts the number of times each word appears. The problem is that it counts the EOL characters as well. I want to skip them. I tried to use the rstrip, still it didn't do anything. So how can I handle these end-of-line characters?

I am using python 3.

Please help.

 
Object= open('w.txt','r')
L= Object.read().rstrip()

occurrenences={}
for word in L.split():    
    occurrenences[word] = occurrenences.get(word,0)+1

for word in occurrenences:    
    print(occurrenences[word],word)

Object.close()

Iterate on the file object instead of reading the file all at once.

f = open('w.txt')
dd = {}
for line in f:
    words = line.strip().split()
    for word in word:
        dd[word] = dd.get(word, 0) + 1
f.close()
