How to concert a txt file into list without comma in Python

Question

I have a sitename.txt it looks like this:

  airipokeramen                  
  888beijing                    
  88buffet                      
  adbuffalo                     
  aerospacea3                   
  airipokeramen                 
  aiya                          
  aki                           
  akisushi                      
  arcticbites                   
  asackofpotatoes               
  asiabuffetchattanooga         
  asiacuisines                  
  asiancook                     
  atlantacafe     

How can I convert it into list like this:

['airipokeramen','888beijing',...,'atlantacafe']

I tried use pandas,sometimes it not works:

import pandas
data=pandas.read_csv('sitename.txt')
site_names = data["iripokeramen"].values.tolist()
site_names

error:

KeyError: 'iripokeramen'

Answer 1

with open('filename') as file:
    your_list = [line.strip() for line in file.readlines()]

Pandas isn't necessary if it's a simple text file.
