How to convert Text file contents into a dictionary.

[zivoni]

Except it returns a list:

In [1]: list(range(5))

Out[1]: [0, 1, 2, 3, 4]

Isnt it exactly what i posted?

list() used on iterable returns list containing items from that iterable,..
...
if it always returned list containing its argument, using list(range(5)) would give you list containing range generator instead of [0, 1, 2, 3, 4].

I tried to write second sentence as some sort of "unreal conditional", but my english is pretty weak...
