title: string split in python
body: <p>I want to split string between a tab.  Let's say I have some text in a file.txt</p>
  
  <pre><code>Kern_County_Museum  1,000,000+
  Fairplex_railway_exhibit    Depot and rolling stock
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So I want to remove redundancy from left side and keep right side as it is.</p>
  
  <pre><code>import re
  import string
  import urllib
  
  for line in open('file.txt', 'r').readlines():
  left, right = string.split(line, maxsplit=1)
  relation = string.split(line, maxsplit=1)
  
  le = relation[0]
  ri = relation[1]
  
  le = urllib.unquote(relation[0])
  le = le.replace('_', ' ')
  
  
  print le, '\t', ri
  </code></pre>
