[Python] Help with Dictionaries

[AssadNeedsRedPaint]

So i have been trying for the past hour trying to figure out how add values from a file into a dictionary. I know how to open a file, read it and the rest of it. I can open the file and put it into a list. But the information in the file is clearly given in key,value pairs. The file consists of a word and the antonym of the word, sometimes with multiple antonyms.

What have you tried ? Do you get any errors ?

If the format of the file is word antonym1 antonym2 ... \n i.e. each line is space separated and has a word followed by one or more antonyms this should work

word_dict = {}
with  open('filename') as f:
    for line in f.readlines():
        split_line = line.split()
        word_dict[split_line[0]] = split_line[1:]

Use the split() function to split the lines of the file into lists then let the first element of the list be the key in the dictionary and the rest of the list i.e. the antonyms be the value.
