title: Parse shell file output with Python
body: <p>I have a file with data. The file is the output generated from a shell scripting file:</p>
  
  <pre><code>|a                     |869         |
  |b                     |835         |
  |c                     |0           |
  |d                     |0           |
  |e                     |34          |
  |f                     |3337     
  </code></pre>
