numpy.genfromtxt has a 'skip_footer' argument for ignoring lines at the end
of the file.  For example:


In [5]: !cat test.tsv
100    200    300
400    500    600
This is a test.

In [6]: a = genfromtxt('test.tsv', delimiter='\t', skip_footer=1)

In [7]: a
Out[7]:
array([[ 100.,  200.,  300.],
       [ 400.,  500.,  600.]])
