Read file as a list of tuples

Question

I want to read a text file using Python. My list must be like this:

mylist = [(-34.968398, -6.487265), (-34.969448, -6.488250),
          (-34.967364, -6.492370)         


        

Answer 1

This code should do it:

ifile=open("data/t2mG_00", "r")
lines=ifile.readlines()
data=[tuple(line.strip().split()) for line in lines]
print(data[0])
