For starters, this does not make sense

if line.count('<') == 0:
            line

Here, you are splitting a list which should yield an error message that says you can only split strings, not lists.

else:
            frag1 = line.split('<')[1]
            try:
                frag2= frag1.split('>')

And why are you implementing all of the stack stuff? Do you want to implement your own stack code, or analyze an html file? It is not obvious which of the two you are trying to do. Something like this will work even though it is clumsy, and you will have to work out the counting-the-same-tag-multiple-times problem yourself.
