[Pythonmac-SIG] inputing multi-digit numbers

[Kirk Durston]

I¹m having a hard time figuring out how to input a list of numbers, each one
of which can be 1, 2, or 3 digits in length. First, I select a column in an
Excel file, and copy and past it into a Word file. I then save it as a text
file. I then open a new window in Python and copy and paste the column of
numbers from the text file into the window and save it as ŒFunction ID¹

In my main program, I type

input=open('Function ID', 'r')
x=input.readlines()
input.close()
print x

What I get, when x is printed out, looks like this:

['939\r936\r937\r885\r886\r887\r171\r19\r169\r149\r36\r37\r38\r1\r51\r81\r10
2\r827\r919\r14\r85\r20\r895\r88\r89\r167\r163\r111\r168\r128\r66\r880\r884\

r42\r43\r44\r151\r172\r109\r135\r6\r940\r892\r912\r903\r898\r17\r10\r390\r13

941\r938\r910\r11\r78\r105\r84\r32\r48\r49\r50\r118\r110\r127\r101\r137\r152
\r79\r80\r908\r906\r33\r138\r909\r890\r153\r154\r157\r170\r106\r416\r914\r92
1\r8\r12\r13\r18\r34\r99\r139\r147\r392\r']

What I want is [Œ939¹, Œ936¹, ... ,¹392¹]

What am I doing wrong?
