Python 3 DNA Concensus Sequence

It's just I have a project for my programming class that requires me to create a Python program that reads DNA sequences from an input file and generates a consensus sequence. I already made a function to open and store the data from the file. What I'm struggling with is to loop over the letters from the sequences to count the nucleotides from each column of each sequence. I was told to use nested loops to process every character in every sequence. I was also recommended this: Use outer loop for columns (characters) and inner loop for rows (sequences) here is my code so far in he image I provided (BTW the file name does not appear because I'm not supposed to prompt the user for a file, the program is designed to try to open a specific file)
