with open("names.txt") as f:
my_list = f.readline().split()
for item in my_list:
with open(item+'.html', 'w') as fp:
pass
(Edited: for importing and iterating) if you want to iterate through a list:
with open('a.txt') as f:
a = f.read().split(' ')
for i in a:
with open(i + '.html', 'w') as f:
pass

You should never use os.popen with an unescaped argument parameter just thrown in like that to do file operations (or anything else unescaped, really). This is unsafe, and one of the worst ways to do it. E.g. open() with mode "w" and closing with no content does the job without these caveats.

True, I'm still learning myself.

What would you recommend? With open(i) as f?

Well thanks for the tip!! I'll edit my answer.

import os
class IO:
def __init__(self):
self.data = open("names.txt").readline().split()
def show(self):
return self.data
def create_files(self):
for i in self.data:
os.system("touch " + str(i) + str(".html"))
io = IO()
print(io.create_files())
Try this....and in names.txt just put blank space between names

Very unsafe, don't combine shell commands with unescaped user arguments like that, ever. This allows arbitrary code execution with malicious file name inputs.

yea, but its for a newbie who wont deploy it and it is just for practice "proof of work" written under one minute.. I understand what you say and I agree, but context here allow it

I would suggest it's not a good idea to teach anyone, including newcomers, such bad practices when this is so incredibly insecure and the correct safe approach (see other response stackoverflow.com/a/65717764/1204141 ) is comparatively simple to do. Please don't make anyone use shell commands without escaping.
