Incidentally (and completely off-topic), I also had issues reading tab-delimited

grep (so to speak)... ;)

found this little gem:

I've used the csv module (comma separated values) with great success. Although I haven't used it with tabs, it appears you can change the delimiter from comma, so it may also be worth a look. And it's in the standard library as of Python 2.3.

Cheers!
