Hello group, 
after 4 months my brain became rusty by not solving
problems. 
I need some help to regain my basic skills. 

my problem:

I have a file that looks like this:

//
AB32456\tTransaction from India
        \t 43 \t 34
        \t 34 \t 65
        \t 12 \t 35
//
AV32567\tTransaction from Singapore
        \t 43 \t 34
        \t 34 \t 65
        \t 12 \t 35
//
AK34678\tTransaction from HongKong
        \t 43 \t 34
        \t 34 \t 65
        \t 12 \t 35


Characterstics:
Every transaction seperated by '//'
Column 1 is container name
Column 2 - Description of transaction and quantities
(in next lines)

What I have to do:
//
AB32456\tTransaction from India
AB32456\t 43 \t 34
AB32456\t 34 \t 65
AB32456\t 12 \t 35
//
AV32567\tTransaction from Singapore
AV32567\t 43 \t 34
AV32567\t 34 \t 65
AV32567\t 12 \t 35
//
AK34678\tTransaction from HongKong
AK34678\t 43 \t 34
AK34678\t 34 \t 65
AK34678\t 12 \t 35


The line that Ive been writing (of course wrong
script):

f1 = open('myfile','r')
stuff = f1.read().split('\n')
for i in stuff:
   if i != '//':
        trcode = line.split('\t')[0]
        trquant = line.split('\t')[1]
        print trcode+'\t'+trquant


This is completely garbage and i am getting no where.
Please help me.. 

thank you
