Note that you are shadowing the built-in variable 'file' here. Better
use 'filename', or something to that effect.

efficient_filler =  efficientFiller("libexo-0.3.pot")
new_list = list(efficient_filler)
last_value = new_list[-1]
print last_value

# OR

efficient_filler =  efficientFiller("libexo-0.3.pot")
for last_value in efficient_filler: pass
print last_value


The latter assumes that the last value is the only value you want.
