Python 2.7 load and edit list from another python file

.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}

I have a python file with a lot of code and lists. I need to add column in particular list.

My questions are - how can I load particular list from .py file? And, how can I add element into particular list?

Here in my code:

import os, datetime, json



login1 = os.environ["login"].split('')[1].strip()

login = login1.split('.')[0].strip()

USERID = str(os.environ['USERID'])

header = login + USERID + '.json'



with open("d:\python\monitor.py", "r") as infile:



data = infile.readlines()



#here I need to load a "dev_personal_files" list and append additional element

Content of monitor.py file

#some python code

dev_personal_files = [

'Yura.json',

'Sasha.json'

]       

staging_files = [

#'ple.json',

'retailReleaseServer.json', 

'topaz.json',

'ple2.json',

#'klub.json',

'gaabtMX.json'

]

staging_files2 = [

'retailDemo.json',

'resort.json',

'jhnkljkl.json',

'hbjk,nm,.json',

'bnbnj,jnk,.json'

]

#some python code

What I want to add into "dev_personal_files" list (list within monitor.py file):

dev_personal_files = [

'NEWRECORD.json',

'Yura.json',

'Sasha.json'

]

What is the format of data? I assume you already tried loading the second file as a infile with a different name and then appending it to the first list with something like data1.list1.extend(data2.list2)?

@kushy format - python file with bunch of lists and some python code. Can you give me an example, how to load list from such file?

I don't know about the infile stuff. I thought you knew about it since you were using it. Usually, if you put the monitor.py and dev_personal_files.py in the same directory as your main file, you can just import them, as the new answer just now states.

Then where is the additional info stored that you wanted to add to the dev_personal_files list? Or were you going to add it to the list during runtime and then save the list again to monitor.py? If yes, you should rather use csv-files, config-files some other data format to save those lists.

Getting a list (or any object) from a .py file is done by importing the file:

import mypyfile # <- leave off the .py 



importedlist =  mypyfile.dev_personal_files

Or you can just import the object itself:

from mypyfile import dev_personal_files



dev_personal_files.extend(my_list_of_extra_items)

However the changes to the list will be lost after you end your python session.

If you want to permanently store changes to the list, save it in a format like json, not in a py file.

import json



# Read data from the file

with open('myfile.json') as f:

    my_list = json.load(f)



# Add an item to your list

my_list.append('foo')



# Save data to the file

with open('myfile.json', 'w') as f:

    json.dump(my_list)
