Create a List that contain each Line of a File

Question

I\'m trying to open a file and create a list with each line read from the file.

   i=0
   List=[\"\"]
   for Line in inFile:
      List[i]=Line.split(\",\")
         


        

Answer 1

Assuming you also want to strip whitespace at beginning and end of each line, you can map the string strip function to the list returned by readlines:

map(str.strip, open('filename').readlines())
