'3\r\n', '5\r\n', '7\r\n', '3\r\n', '9']  There's no real point
in contructing a list. Just do  with open(r'c:\test.txt') as f:
for l in f:        print int(l)   As long as you just have
digits and whitespace then that's fine - int() will do as you
want.  More information about the Python-list mailing list
