I want to create simply method, where programm will find word or words in file, based on passed value from command line.

class Option():

    SCRABBLES_SCORES = [(1, "E A O I N R T L S U"), (2, "D G"), (3, "B C M P"),

                (4, "F H V W Y"), (5, "K"), (8, "J X"), (10, "Q Z")]

    global LETTER_SCORES 

    LETTER_SCORES = {letter: score for score, letters in SCRABBLES_SCORES

             for letter in letters.split()}



    def word_from_score(self,score):

        file = [line.rstrip('n') for line in open('dictionary.txt', "r")]

For example, if I run python main.py -s 7 it will return KOT. I know how to create argparse, but have problem with finding words and adding them to list

[EDIT]
I wrote something like this:

def word_from_score(self,score):

    file = [line.rstrip('n') for line in open('dictionary.txt', "r")]



    return [word for word in file if sum([LETTER_SCORES[letter] for letter in word ]) == score]

List comprehension is your friend here. To compute the score of a word:

def scoreOf(word):

    return sum( [ LETTER_SCORES[letter] for letter in word ] )

and to filter out all the matching words:

def wordsWithScore(allWords, targetScore):

    return [ word for word in allWords if scoreOf(word) == targetScore ]

Or if you really want to, you can even combine them into a one-liner:

return [ word for word in allWords

         if sum( [ LETTER_SCORES[letter] for letter in word ] ) == targetScore ]
