how can i access the contents of a text file in Python?
i would like to compare a string (word) with the content of a text
file (word_list). i want to see if word is in word_list. let's assume
the TXT file is stored in the same directory as the PY file.
def is_valid_word(word, word_list)
thanks

Completely untested:
def is_valid_word(word, filename):
for line in open(filename):
if word in line.split():
return True
return False
