To open a file to access the contents 
https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#open

If the data is in CSV format see https://docs.python.org/3/library/csv.html

For your data structure lists 
https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#lists and dicts 
https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#mapping-types-dict are 
always the first port of call.
