turn text lines into a list

[Xah Lee]

i have a large number of lines i want to turn into a list.
In perl, i can do

@corenames=qw(
rb_basic_islami c
sq1_pentagonTil e
sq_arc501Tile
sq_arc503Tile
);

use Data::Dumper;
print Dumper(\@corena mes);

----------
is there some shortcut to turn lines into list in Python?

Impractical to mix code and data, isn't it?

chomp( my @corenames = <DATA> );

__DATA__
rb_basic_islami c
sq1_pentagonTil e
sq_arc501Tile
sq_arc503Tile

Another way : (less typing of quotes)

all_names = """
rb_basic_islami c
sq1_pentagonTil e
sq_arc501Tile
sq_arc503Tile
"""

corenames = all_names.split ()

Of course, the lines better not have embedded spaces or they'll be split
into several lines. For lines per se, probably I'd do

corenames = """\
rb_basic_islami c
sq1_pentagonTil e
sq_arc501Tile
sq_arc503Tile
""".splitlines( )

Note the \ to avoid a blank leading line.

"""\

... solid
... embedded space
... leading
... trailing
... both
... """.splitlines( )
['solid', 'embedded space', ' leading', 'trailing ', ' both ']

Obviously not impractical, given he did it quite easily and succinctly.
chomp( my @corenames = <DATA> );

__DATA__
rb_basic_islami c
sq1_pentagonTil e
sq_arc501Tile
sq_arc503Tile

Not so easy when you have multiple variables to set. And the original
version was transparent in what it was doing - your version is not.
