Can you please help me write this word count program in another way

Feb 27th, 2006

Word Count. A Common Utility On Unix/linux Systems Is A Small Program Called "wc." This Program Analyzes A File To Determine The Number Of Lines, Words, And Characters Contained Therein. Write A Version Of Wc. The Program Should Accept A File Name As Input And Than Print Three Numbers Showing The Count Of Lines, Words, And Characters In The File. I use Gettysburg address.

#The number of lines, and the number of words.
 
 
import string
 
 
def main():
    data = raw_input("Enter the path and name of your ")
    infile = file(data, 'r')
    data_file = infile.read()
    number_of_characters = len(data_file)
    print "The number of characters in your text is", number_of_characters
