Oops, just noted that the data was included below, and not in the given
lines.
Still, the split still works on both lines:

> QEXZUO     C26 H31 N1 O3
>          6.164   15.892   22.551    90.00    90.00    90.00

bit1 = line1.split(" ")[0]
bit2 = [v for v in line1.split(" ")[1:] if v]
bit3 = [v for v in line2.split(" ") if v]

>>> bit1
'QEXZUO'

>>> bit2
['C26', 'H31', 'N1', 'O3']

>>> bit3
['6.164', '15.892', '22.551', '90.00', '90.00', '90.00']

You can probably figure out the rest, like testing for a
line0.startswith('----') as a separator and such?

Cheerio, Marc.
