python按关键词分割txt_Python：按标签分割txt文件

first off new to python and not good at it... I am trying to open a txt file called bestsellers.txt. In the text file it is split by a tab character for example,

1st to Die James Patterson Little, Brown 3/25/2001 Fiction

So, after Die it is tab spaced same with after patterson and brown and 2001

All I have right now is

openBook = open('bestsellers.txt', 'r')

booklist = openBook.split('\t')

But, it doesn't seem to work, suggestions on what to do? I have to keep it simple.

I know this is probably a dumb question as well, so I apologize...

解决方案

To split at each tab, iterate over the file like so:

data = [i.strip('\n').split('\t') for i in open('bestsellers.txt')]
