Read the lines with readlines(), as you say, then split each line into 
whatever pieces you want with split (or with any of the many other 
string methods).

A minimal example (without readlines):
 >>> lines = ['a b c', 'aa bb cc']
 >>> for line in lines:
...   words = line.split()
...   print(words)
...
['a', 'b', 'c']
['aa', 'bb', 'cc']
