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

A file is almost a list of lines   You can trivially use it in a for loop   myFile  open   SomeFile txt    r    for x in myFile      print x myFile close     Or  if you want an actual list of lines  simply create a list from the file   myFile  open   SomeFile txt    r    myLines   list  myFile   myFile close   print len myLines   myLines   You can t do someList i  to put a new item at the end of a list   You must do someList append i    Also  never start a simple variable name with an uppercase letter   List confuses folks who know Python   Also  never use a built-in name as a variable   list is an existing data type  and using it as a variable confuses folks who know Python

Please read PEP8   You re swaying pretty far from python conventions   If you want a list of lists of each line split by comma  I d do this   l      for line in in file      l append line split         You ll get a newline on each record   If you don t want that   l      for line in in file      l append line rstrip   split
