You've got a type error. Let's analyze why.
What are the types we're dealing with? Let's see. In line 4 of the program:
fh =
urllib.request.urlopen("http://www.bankofcanada.ca/en/markets/csv/exchange_eng.csv";).read()
urlopen() gives us a response object, according to:
https://docs.python.org/3/library/urllib.request.html#urllib.request.urlopen
What is the return type of read()?
https://docs.python.org/3/library/http.client.html#http.client.HTTPResponse.read
It sounds like it's returning a "bytes". But what is a "bytes"?
https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#bytes
Reading... ah, there's a section in the documentation on bytes that is relevant:
"""While bytes literals and representations are based on ASCII text,
bytes objects actually behave like immutable sequences of integers"""
Why is this fact relevant?
Because the loop here is trying to iterate over the individual elements in fh:
for line in fh:
And from reading the documentation, those elements are the individual
byte integer values. And so the "line" in line 6:
for line in fh:
is not truly representing a line of text: it's representing a single
numeric byte in your input. So that's the origin of the error.
Correct the code by using bytes.split().
https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#bytes.split
So the loop really should be:
for line in fh.split("\n"):
