This exercise is provided to allow potential course delegates to choose the correct Wise Owl Microsoft training course, and may not be reproduced in whole or in part in any format without the prior written consent of Wise Owl.

Before you can do this exercise, you'll need to download and unzip this file.

The text file in the folder above contains a list of Muppets:

The file stores the animal type and colour of each Muppet.

Write a program which does the following to get the results shown below:

Step	Hint
Opens the file	Use with open(file_path,"r") as file_name
Reads in the lines	Use read() to get the entire contents, then apply splitlines() to get a list of lines
For each line, gets the details	Use split(",") to get a list of the details
Prints out the results for each	You could use muppet, animal, colour = muppet_list to unpack the list into distinct variables

You don't have to use the hints - there are many ways for a wise owl to skin a python!

Your program should produce this output:

This should be the output from your program.

When everything is working, close down your program!
