Use str.split.

Ex:

name = []
scores = []
with open("filename.txt") as infile:
    for line in infile:    #Iterate each line
        *name_val, score_val = line.strip().split()   #split by space
         name.append(" ".join(name_val))      Append name
         scores.appendint(int(score_val))     Append score

Find the below code:

name=[]
scores=[]
with open("text.txt",'rb+') as f:
    data = f.readlines()
lines=[d.rstrip('\n') for d in data]
for line in lines:
    name.append(line.split()[0])
    scores.append(line.split()[1])
print(name,scores)
