Create A List Out Of File Contents With Item Per Line In Python

The aim of this playbook🏁 is to extract list of clients I need to upgrade from clients.txt file — as a part of the script that changes the version of the component within Consul.

1. instructions

def client_list():
    with open("clients.txt", mode="rt", encoding="utf-8") as client_file:
        return [line.strip() for line in client_file.readlines()]

• 2 new string-object methods to memorize

1. <file>.readlines() reads lines from a file and passes them into a list
2. <str>.string() strips the string from special character such as \n
