I hope this helps:

 >>> s = "xxx yyy\nzzz"
 >>> print s.split()
['xxx', 'yyy', 'zzz']
 >>> s = "xxx  yyy \n zzz"
 >>> print s.split()
['xxx', 'yyy', 'zzz']
 >>>

So you just read lines (or the whole file, if it's small enough) and 
spilt lines. If you want to be closer to C++, you can write your iterator.
