Python: Creating a list from a file

Question

So I\'m trying to create a function that will open a text file, read it line by line, then take the data it pulls from it to create a list.

def file_open():

You are probably trying to apply int() on a empty line. You can get all lines with file.readlines() and then iterate over them easily.

Try this:

def file_open():
    filename = "PATH TO YOUR FILE"
    fob = open(filename, 'r')
    lines = fob.readlines()

    final_list = []
    for line in lines:
        final_list.append(int(line))

    print "List: %s" % final_list
