Yes, you could do that. Note that it builds up an in-memory list of
all those lines, instead of processing the file one line at a time.
If the file is very large, that might be a problem.
If you use parentheses instead:
(line.rstrip() for line in open('C:\\switches.txt'))
you get what's called a generator expression that you can loop
through, but that's a bit complicated to explain, it's probably better
to get used to other parts of Python before worrying about that.
