[Tutor] Lists in a file

Hi, I am trying to create a program where I open a file full of lists and process them. However when the program does not recognize the lists as lists. Here is the relevant code :- def open_filedef():     text_file =open ("voteinp.txt","r")     lines = text_file.readlines()             for line
