spent more time automating spanish assignment than doing it. Just a way to take a comma separated txt file, sort it, and print it.

sort-print.py

import os
dir_path = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))
file_object = open(f'{dir_path}/cognates.txt')
the_words = []

for line in file_object:
    formatted_line = line.rstrip().split(',')
    if formatted_line != ['']:
        the_words.append(formatted_line)

print('English -> Spanish\n')
list.sort(the_words)
for english, spanish in the_words:
    print(f'{english} -> {spanish}')
