Hello am a beginner on python and i want to know if ther's away to read a line and transform it to a namedtuple i will explain i have this 2 lines

MARKS      CLASS      NAME       ID        
92         2          Calum      1

For the first line :

line = raw_input()

>>> line
['92         2          Calum      1 ']
>>> line = raw_input().split('        ')
92         2          Calum      1

Just using split() will split at any whitespace characters (tabs, or multiple spaces). So

line = raw_input()
args = line.split()

Then, because namedtuple accepts multiple arguments, not a list, you just have to unwrap the argument list, using the * operator.

person = Person(*args)

So the answer according to me would be to use '\t' instead of '/t'

a=raw_input().split('\t')
