How to read text from a file using Python?

Question

I have some header files in C that I want to read in Python. Is there a way to do this? For example, if I have a header file that contains the following code in C:

#define x 0x00
#define y 0x03
#define z 0x0003

Would I be able to extract this data using Python?

Answer 1

data = dict()
with open("file.h", "r") as f:
    for l in f:
        l = l.split(" ")
        data[l[1]] = l[2]
