Hi - I have a list returned from popen/readlines, and am wondering how to go about iterating over each item which was returned (rather than currently having the whole lot returned).
so far: >>> f=os.open("./get_hostnames").readlines returns ['host1 host2 host3 ... hostN\n]' i'd like to be in a position to iterate through these, grabbing each host. I have played with transmuting to a str, and using split, and this works, but I get the subscript brackets from the list output as expected, as the list output is now a string literal, and this is not what I want - and I think it's a bit long-winded to do a search 'n replace on it - hence why I ask in the subject what's the best way. >>> f=str(f) >>> f.split() ["['host1","host2", ... ,"hostN\n']"] Any help is highly appreciated ta dan. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
