How do I turn an unformatted text file list into a python list in another file?

I've created a text file that just has an unformatted list of emails, all on a new line. Ex:

This is the unformatted list called emailListTest.txt

a@a.org
b@b.org
c@c.org
d@d.org
e@e.org
f@f.org
g@g.org
h@h.org

I have another app that opens and reads the unformatted email list file. Then it creates a new python file and tries to put the unformatted list of emails all in a python list.

This all started because I wanted to learn how to send emails with code. I've made another app that does this, but I wanted one that sends emails to multiple people at the same time.

This is my writer app

emailListFile = open("emailListTest.txt", "r")
emailListFileList = open("emailListTestList.py","w")


print(emailListFileList.write("emailAsList = "))
print(emailListFileList.write("["))

def emailAddressList():
    #try:
    for i in emailListFile:
        print(emailListFileList.write( "\n'" + i + "'" + ", "))


emailAddressList()

print(emailListFileList.write("]"))



emailListFile.close()
emailListFileList.close()

I must be missing something because the output is

emailAsList = [
'a@a.org
', 
'b@b.org
', 
'c@c.org
', 
'd@d.org
', 
'e@e.org
', 
'f@f.org
', 
'g@g.org
', 
'h@h.org', ]

I feel like it's so close to being right, if only there weren't these new lines from the unformatted list file splitting the ', onto a new line.

If anyone knows how to solve my issue, I'd greatly appreciate it! (Also, if anyone has any other tips to simplify other parts in my code, I'd love to know. I'm still learning!)

Thank you!

Confusion between commands.Bot and discord.Client | Which one should I use?

Whenever you look at YouTube tutorials or code from this website there is a real variation. Some developers use client = discord.Client(intents=intents) while the others use bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="something", intents=intents) . Now I know slightly about the difference but I get errors from different places from my code when I use either of them and its confusing. Especially since there has a few changes over the years in discord.py it is hard to find the real difference. I tried sticking to discord.Client then I found that there are more features in commands.Bot . Then I found errors when using commands.Bot . An example of this is: When I try to use commands.Bot client = commands.Bot(command_prefix=">",intents=intents) async def load(): for filename in os.listdir("./Cogs"): if filename.endswith(".py"): client.load_extension(f"Cogs.{filename[:-3]}") The above doesnt giveany response from my Cogs ...
