title: creating lists from text file using pandas in python
body: <p>I have a text file (data.txt) like below:</p>
  
  <pre><code>name height  weight
      A   15.5    55.7
      B   18.9    51.6
      C   17.4    67.3
      D   11.4    34.5
      E   23.4    92.1
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I want to make list in python for each column using pandas.</p>
  
  <pre><code>import pandas
  with open (pandas.read_csv('data.txt')) as df:
      name= df.icol(0)
      height= df.icol(1)
      weight= df.icol(2)
      print (name)
      print (height)
      print (weight)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I also want to avoid the headers (name, height, weight) from the list.</p>
  
  <p>print (df) provides as follows:</p>
  
  <pre><code>name\theight\tweight
  0        A\t15.5\t55.7
  1        B\t18.9\t51.6
  2        C\t17.4\t67.3
  3        D\t11.4\t34.5
  4        E\t23.4\t92.1
  </code></pre>
