does not. The complaint is: Cannot Assign to operator

^^^ the entire contents of a magnificent test-file
NB:
Python 3.8.5 (default, Aug 12 2020, 00:00:00)

BTW, I used this
cp /var/log/syslog ./in-file.log
#!/usr/bin/env python3
import io
with open("in-file.log","r") as infile:
for line in infile:
print(line)
I got a different error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./test.py", line 4, in <module>
for line in infile:
File "/usr/lib/python3.8/codecs.py", line 322, in decode

@Mladen: is syslog a text file or binary format?
