Well, supposing the file is not too large:
fd = open( ... )
rows, cols, vals = [], [], []
while 1:
try:
line = fd.readline()
if (len( line ) == 0): break
if len( line ) == 1: continue
except EOFError:
break
line = line.split()
ir, ic, val = int( line[0] ), int( line[1] ), float( line[2] )
rows.append( ir )
cols.append( ic )
vals.append( val )
Alternatively, you can try to use numpy.fromfile( ..., sep = ' ', dtype
= numpy.float64 ) and then reshape it to (n, 3) and re-type the first
two columns to ints.
