Numpy loadtxt
All parameters are
numpy.loadtxt(fname, dtype=<type 'float'>, comments='#', delimiter=None, converters=None, skiprows=0, usecols=None, unpack=False, ndmin=0)
fname is the filename ‘./sample.txt’), where the text needs to be columns of the same length, ie no missing values (for missing values look into genfromtxt)
dtype is the data type, which is automatically set to floating numbers (includes decimals). To download the list as a string, you would type in dtype=‘str’
