Reading numbers from a file using map

Question

I want to read a list of IDs (as integers) from a file in Python3. The file has a single ID per line and no blank lines.

with open(file_eval_id) as f:
    eval_ids = [list(map(int, line.split()))[0] for line in f]

Is there a cleaner way of doing it? I have doubts about referencing the list(...)[0] as the best way.

Answer 1

You can use something like the following:

with open(file_eval_id) as f:
    eval_ids = [int(line) for line in f]

The code assumes, that ID is the only thing in the line.
