[Tutor] Reading List from File

[Monika Jisswel]

Emile is right, in python you can do most of the stuff yourself by hand
coding it, or you can use pre-made bullet proof and ready to go modules,
here you can go for the csv module that comes part of the standard library.

import csv
myfile = open('file', 'r')  # open file for reading
data = csv.Reader(myfile, delimeter = ',') # let csv module load it
print data
