How to read a file without newlines

Question

In Python  calling  temp   open filename  r   readlines     results in a list in which each element is a line in the file  It s a little stupid but still  readlines   also writes newline character to each element  something I do not wish to happen    How can I avoid it

You can read the whole file and split lines using str splitlines   temp   file read   splitlines     Or you can strip the newline by hand   temp    line  -1  for line in file    Note  this last solution only works if the file ends with a newline  otherwise the last line will lose a character   This assumption is true in most cases  especially for files created by text editors  which often do add an ending newline anyway    If you want to avoid this you can add a newline at the end of file   with open the file   r    as f      f seek -1  2     go at the end of the file     if f read 1       n             add missing newline if not already present         f write   n           f flush           f seek 0      lines    line  -1  for line in f    Or a simpler alternative is to strip the newline instead    line rstrip   n   for line in file    Or even  although pretty unreadable    line  - line -1       n   or len line  1  for line in file    Which exploits the fact that the return value of or isn t a boolean  but the object that was evaluated true or false     The readlines method is actually equivalent to   def readlines self       lines          for line in iter self readline               lines append line      return lines    or equivalently  def readlines self       lines          while True          line   self readline           if not line              break         lines append line      return lines   Since readline   keeps the newline also readlines   keeps it   Note  for symmetry to readlines   the writelines   method does not add ending newlines  so f2 writelines f readlines    produces an exact copy of f in f2
