Could you let us know what kind of error you are getting?
I don't know if this is your error, but this line won't run:
readData = formisanoOpen.readLines()
Since Python is case-sensitive, you would need a lower-case 'l' in
'readlines()' -- perhaps that would solve your problem?

Untested:
with open("numbers.txt", "r") as f:
print sum(int(x) for x in f)

thats what i have so far --
#!/usr/bin/python
import os.path
#open up the file
formisanoOpen = open("formisano_num.txt", "r")
#read in all the data into a list
readData = formisanoOpen.readLines()
#set up a sum
sum = 0;
#begin a loop
for trial in readData:
#the next line is indented (YA doesn't indent)
sum += int(trial)
#loop is over, so unindent
#report the sum
print sum
end
but it doesnt want to run for some reason....
