To open text les as a list, we can use the

.readlines() method.
In this example,
we've already imported our poem into our
Jupyter Notebook.
And we're going to open it and assign that open
to the poem1 variable.
So this is a read format open, and
we're going to use the .readlines() method on the
instance of the le.
and .readlines() will read in each line of
 0:02 / 1:53  Speed 1.0x  HD     the text le as a list item.

Concept

.readlines()

File read as a list with .readlines()

converts the lines of a le into a list of strings

poem_lines = poem1.readlines()

Examples
# [ ] Run to download file to notebook
!curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MicrosoftLearning/intropython/master/poem1.txt -o poem1.txt

# [ ] review and run example

# open address to file
poem1 = open('poem1.txt', 'r')

# readlines and print as a list

poem_lines = poem1.readlines()
poem_lines

# [ ] review and run example

for line in poem_lines:
print(line)

Task 1
.readlines()

open the cities le as a list

1. Import a list of cities using curl

1. git the list from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MicrosoftLearning/intropython/master/cities

2. name the list cities.txt

2. Open cities.txt in read mode using a variable: cities_ le

3. Read cities_ le as a list variable: cities_lines using .readlines()

4. Print each line of cities_lines by iterating the list

# [ ] import cities

# [ ] open cities.txt as cities_file and read the file as a list: cities_lines

# [ ] use list iteration to print each city in cities_lines list
