Class Modules, and Passing Variables: Seeking Advice

[Robo_Pi]

Sorry but the above post got posted by accident before it was finished. And now I can't edit it!!!

Sorry about the mistaken early post. I was interrupted and it got posted before I was done. The following is how the original OP was supposed to end.


Next is the Alysha_Read() Class.

Alysha_Read.py

This class reads a text file named "Commands.txt" located at the address contained in "File_Path".
It then converts the content of that file into a Python List and returns the list to the calling program.

class Alysha_Read():
	""" 
	---- Alysha_Read:Alysha_Read class to read the Commands.txt ----
	This program reads the text file in the Robo_Pass folder on the Raspberry Pi
	It converts that text file into a Python List and then passes the list
	back to the program that called this class.  
	The passing list is called	"Task_Commands"
	This is done to place the commands in a List Variable. (or String Array),
	that can then be accessed via indexes. Task_Commands[i]	
	This Class must be called using Alysha_Read(list),
	where list should be an empty list. 
	Then upon return you can obtain the Task_Commands by using:
	Commands = Alysha_Read.Task_Commands
	"""
	
	### 	--- Addresses for Commands.txt file -------
    # Overseer directory
	File_Path = 'C:/100_Robo_pass/Commands.txt'
    # Raspberry Pi directory
	### File_Path = /home/pi/Robo_pass/Commands.txt'
	
	
	# ---------- Begin Reading Commands.txt Routine --------------
	
	# Create a string array or list named Raw_Task_Commands
	# This reads the entire Command File
	# Required to be able to count how many commands there are.
	Raw_Task_Commands = []
	# Create a new string array to for the individual clean commands.
	Task_Commands = []
	# Read the Commands.txt file on HP-Elite using the Ptyhon open function
	# Create the file-reading object named "Stream_Reader_1".
	# ---
	# --- B E W A R E ! ! ! ---- use the correct filename for each robot.
	# ---
	Stream_Reader_1 = open(File_Path, 'r')
	# Read in the entire file into "Raw_Task_Commands" array.
	Raw_Task_Commands = Stream_Reader_1.readlines()
	# Break out the commands, get the count, and clean them up.
	# (note) len(Raw_Task_Commands) is the count. 
	for i in range(0,len(Raw_Task_Commands)):
		# Isolate the first command.
		raw_Command_String = Raw_Task_Commands[i]
		# Strip off the carriage returns and line feed.
		raw_Command_String = raw_Command_String.strip()
		# Append this into the new clean Command array.
		Task_Commands.append(raw_Command_String)
		# won't need the following print on the final version.
		# ---- For Debug Only ----	
		print raw_Command_String
	# Close the file!	
	Stream_Reader_1.close
	
	def __init__(self, Task_Commands):
		""" 
		This is my initiation function in Alysha_Read
		Task_Commands is assigned to this Class
		as a passable list array using this __init__ function
		
		"""

		

The Command.txt File contains the following information:

Task 1
Task 2
Task 3
Task 4
Task 5
Task 6
Task 7
Task 8
Task 9
Task 10

The program returns the following List as an output:

Output:
['Task 1','Task 2','Task 3','Task 4','Task 5','Task 6','Task 7','Task 8','Task 9','Task 10']

Questions

This program works as expected. My only question is to ask for any suggestions of advice on how I might improve on this software design. Specially in terms of setting up classes as independent files, and in terms of passing variables between these classes. Have I done things correctly? I'm just starting out programming in Python so I'll be surprised if I'm doing things correctly.

Any suggestions for improvements are welcome.

Thanks for reading.
