-3

I'm trying to take a file that have and take whatever number is on line one (and two and three, etc.) and assign them to a given variable. So say my file is just like:

1
5
6
1

So then how would I take line one and assign that value to variable_a within my code, then take line two and assign it to variable_b. Thanks!

with open(fname) as f:
    content = f.readlines()
    numbers = [int(x) for x in content]

Try this:

import string
fi = open(fname, "r")
vars = fi.read()
fi.close()

pos = 0
for i in vars.split("\n"):
    exec('variable_' + string.lowercase[pos] + '=' + i)
    pos += 1

print(variable_b) # will print 5
