You can use pandas to read the file into a df and play around with it. — Shivangi Singh, Mar 28 '21 at 19:47

you can use csv reader

import csv
x = []
y = []
with open('file.txt') as f:
    reader = csv.reader(f)
    for row in reader:
        x.append(float(row[0]))
        y.append(float(row[1]))

Output:

>>x
[6.1101, 5.5277, 8.5186, 7.0032, 5.8598, 8.3829, 7.4764, 8.5781, 6.4862, 5.0546, 5.7107]
>>y
[17.592, 9.1302, 13.662, 11.854, 6.8233, 11.886, 4.3483, 12.0, 6.5987, 3.8166, 3.2522]
