Edit your question and show your attempt, don't put it in comments. — Mark Tolonen, Dec 07 '16 at 19:21
Read about [`split()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str.split) and try to write some code! — ettanany, Dec 07 '16 at 19:24

You mean:

>>>hmm="Welcome And I want list like that"
>>>my_list=hmm.split()
>>>my_list
['Welcome', 'And', 'I', 'want', 'list', 'like', 'that']

Basically:

print open('yourfile.txt').read().split(',')

And if you're not sure about extra spaces or tabs in your source file, you can remove them:

print map(str.strip, open('yourfile.txt').read().split(','))
