title: Import csv as list in python
body: <p>I am trying to import a csv file as a list:</p>
  
  <pre><code>file = open('curr.csv', 'rt')
  f = file.read()
  f = f.split(',')
  
  print(f)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The csv file is only 'GBP, USD' so I want the list ['GBP', 'USD'].
  However the result I get is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>['GBP', 'USD\n']
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How do I stop \n from appearing on the last value?</p>
