Adding List Elements to a Dictionary - printing

Question

I am trying to take a list of words that I have imported from a textfile and make a dictionary , where the value is incremented each time the word is passed over in the loop. However, with the current code I have, none are added and only the value I add initiall is there when I print the dictionary. What am I doing wrong?
import pymysql
from os import path
import re
db = pymysql.connect(host='127.0.0.1', port=3306, user='root', passwd='', db='db_cc')
cursor = db.cursor()
cursor.execute("SELECT id, needsprocessing, SchoolID, ClassID, TaskID FROM sharedata WHERE needsprocessing = 1")
r = cursor.fetchall()
print(r)
from os import path
import re
noentities = len(r)
a = r[0][1]
b = r[0][2]
c = r[0][3]
d = r[0][4]
filepath = "/codecompare/%s/%s/%s/%s.txt" %(a, b, c, d)
print(filepath)
foo = open(filepath, "r")
steve = foo.read()
rawimport = steve.split(' ')
dictionary = {"for":0}
foo.close()
for word in rawimport:
if word in dictionary:
dictionary[word] +=1
else:
dictionary[word] = 1
print dictionary
Some rawimport values are as follows:
print rawimport
['Someting', 'something', 'dangerzones', 'omething', 'ghg', 'sdf', 'hgiinsfg', '932wrtioarsjg', 'fghbyghgyug', 'sadiiilglj']
Additionally, when trying to print from the code, it throws
... print dictionary
File "<stdin>", line 3
print dictionary
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
However, if I run print dictionary by itself it prints:
{'for': 0}
Which is evidence that for loop did nothing.
Any ideas?
Running Python 2.7.2
edit: updated to reflect closing of file and to make loop simpler
edit: added sample rawimport data

I received the same Traceback when working through this in the Python interpreter -- it arose from not leaving the context of the for loop:
>>> for word in rawimport:
... if word in dictionary:
... dictionary[word]+=1
... else:
... dictionary[word]=1
... print dictionary
File "<stdin>", line 6
print dictionary
^
The interpreter thinks your print statement belongs to the for loop, and errors because it's not appropriately indented. (If you did indent it, of course, it would print the dictionary during each pass). The solution to that (assuming you're doing this in the interpreter, which was how I reproduced your error) is hitting enter again:
>>> for word in rawimport:
... if word in dictionary:
... dictionary[word]+=1
... else:
... dictionary[word]=1
...
>>> print dictionary
{'for': 1, 'fghbyghgyug': 1, '932wrtioarsjg': 1, 'dangerzones': 1, 'sdf': 1, 'ghg': 1, 'Someting': 1, 'something': 1, 'omething': 1, 'sadiiilglj': 1, 'hgiinsfg': 1}
