I'm trying to get this column of words in input.txt:
Suzuki music
Chinese music
Conservatory
Blue grass
Rock n roll
Rhythm
Composition
Contra
Instruments
into this format:
"suzuki music", "chinese music", "conservatory music", "blue grass", "rock n roll", "rhythm"...
This code:
with open ('artsplus_stuff.txt', 'r') as f:
list.append(", ".join(['%s' % row for row in f.read().splitlines()]))
for item in list:
item.lower()
print list
returns a list, but the first letters are capitalized.
['Suzuki music, Chinese music, Conservatory, Blue grass, Rock n roll, Rhythm, Composition, Contra, Instruments ']
How do I get all the items lower-cased?
Thanks!

error: list.append(", ".join(['"%s"' % row for row in f.read().splitlines()])) TypeError: descriptor 'append' requires a 'list' object but received a 'str' logout
Instead of
for item in list:
item.lower()
change the name of the variable list to l or whatever you like that isn't a reserved word in Python and use the following line, obviously substituting whatever you name the list for l.
l = [item.lower() for item in l]
The lower method returns a copy of the string in all lowercase letters. Once a string has been created, nothing can modify its contents, so you need to create a new string with what you want in it.
