Reading a file without newlines
You can read the whole file and split lines using str.splitlines:1
temp = file.read().splitlines()
Or you can strip the newline by hand:1
temp = [line[:-1] for line in file]
Note: this last solution only works if the file ends with a newline, otherwise the last line will lose a character.
