Hi Srinivas,

Those are GenBank accessions, aren't they?

Can you write a function that takes a line of the list, and turns it into
a single tuple?  That is, given:

######
line = "NM_004619.2	2716.3"
######

can you write a function that takes that tab-delimited line and extracts a
tuple from it?  If you can write that function, then you should be in
business.


Alternatively, have you looked at the CSV library yet?

Good luck!
