It depends on what you mean by a column. I assume your data is more
complex than what you've shown us.
If your data is really single words separated by spaces, you can do:
for line in open('file'):
columns = line.split()
return columns[0], columns[3]
If your columns can have spaces within them, or are separated in other
ways, you'll need something else.
