Reading from a text file python

Question

I have a text file which contains a matrix of numbers:

999 999  10  8
3 4 999 999 999 
6 999 2 7 999
999 6 3 5  6
999 9 1 10 999
10 6 999 2 2 999

Answer 1

For each line, split on space character, and then convert each token to an int. One way to do this, using list comprehension, is:

s = "999 999 10 8"
[int(t) for t in s.split(" ")]
#evaluates to [999, 999, 10, 8]
