How-to create a Pascal Record using Python

[Daniel]

Hello,

How are Pascal-records used in Python? I've tried some code (below)
but I ran into trouble with this '\012' attached to each line.  Can
someone please help me out?  What is the correct way of
using/creating/writing/reading Pascal-records in Python? Thanks

Daniel


"""
This is the contents of the records-file (Each line is a record
containing 3 elements.)
aaa,12,azert
bbb,a1,qsdfg
ccc,2c,wxcvb
ddd,7f,yuiop
eee,9b,hjklm
fff,0e,nhyuj
"""

#define a function which stores all the lines from a file into a list
def getTheLines(filename):
    file = open(filename)
    return map(str, file.readlines())

#store contents of records-file into a list
lijst = getTheLines( "C:\\Python20\\AProject\\Records\\records.txt")

print lijst

The output is as follows : 
['aaa,12,azert\012', 'bbb,a1,qsdfg\012', 'ccc,2c,wxcvb\012',
'ddd,7f,yuiop\012', 'eee,9b,hjklm\012', 'fff,0e,nhyuj']
