Creating a list from a text file

I have a text file called my_urls.txt that has 3 URLs:

example1.com
example2.com
example3.com

with open("../test_data/my_urls.txt", "r") as urlFile:
    urls_list = urlFile.readline().split('\n')
    print(urls_list)


['example1.com', '']

I wonder why urls_list is not giving me ['example1.com', 'example2.com', 'example3.com']

>Solution :

You need to iterate over the open file. This iterates over the lines for you:

with open("../test_data/my_urls.txt", "r") as urlFile:
    urls_list = []
    for url in urlFile:
        urls_list.append(url.strip())
    print(urls_list)
