Below is my approach which I am sure is wrong somewhere and it doesn't work the way expected, the append doesn't do anything in my code nor does it returns any traceback all i see is a empty list printed at the end, I am using win10 x64 python 3.x atom-editor. Please take a look if you can tell me what am I doing wrong here. I want to check each list word by word if the word is not repeated in the same list it should be appended to a 'newlist'. Thanks in advance handle = open('file.txt') newlist = list() for line in handle: #line.rstrip() linewords = line.split() print(linewords) for word in linewords: newlist.append(word) if word not in linewords: continue print('new: ',newlist) -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
