Import list variable from separate files in python

Question

script.py

list = ['one',
        'two',
        'three']
# python script here

My list is getting really long (about 400 lines)... Is there a way to have the variable list in a separate py file and import it?

Or should I have separate file and create a list by iterating over it?

list.txt

one
two
three

How can I achieve this?

Answer 1

Yes! Simply create another python list and import it in the main program.

in variables.py

mylist = ['this', 'that', 'theother']

in main.py

from variables import mylist
