that is my current code the for is empty because I didn't finish I need to find a way to count characters that are repeated in a file and then change a variable if it is counted 2 or more.

I don't know what characters are you trying to count but you might want to look into counter type of objects from collections module.

By the way please don't make so many weird variables. If you want to have a group of data defined then put it into a list, set, tuple or dictionary. For example

o = "round"
c = "crunchy"
w = "wafer"
s = "soft"

could be just

type_dict = {'o': 'round', 'c': 'crunchy', 'w': 'wafer', 's': 'soft'}

An example of use:

print(type_dict['o'])  

 Above will print out "round".
