Please do us a favor and at least try to figure things out on your own, rather than coming here every time you have a question. The very first result when you try searching "python read text file" is the section in the Python tutorial that explains how to do this. http://docs.python.org/tutorial/inputoutput.html#reading-and-writing-files -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
