How do I convert .txt file to a list in python? -

a nous la liberte (1932)     schmidt (2002)     absence of malice (1981)     adam's rib (1949)    .... .... 

i extract these movie titles in .txt file , add them list in python program getting type error. here code.

note: "file name: " input 'movies.txt'.

file = open((input("file name: ")), "r") movies_list = file.readlines() movies_list = [movie.strip() movie in movies_list] file.close() print(movies_list[0,1]) 

this error get

traceback (most recent call last):   file "/users/liamemery/pycharmprojects/assignmenttwo/questiontwo.py", line 40, in <module>     load()   file "/users/liamemery/pycharmprojects/assignmenttwo/questiontwo.py", line 6, in load     print(movies_list[0,1]) typeerror: list indices must integers or slices, not tuple 

your problem appears displaying results. when selecting list, can either select index, e.g.:

print movies_list[0] 

or range, e.g.:

print movies_list[0:3] print movies_list[3:-1] 

or can print entire list:

print movies_list 

you can't use commas in square brackets lists.
