[G Kiran]

>>> l=['Tue 03/23/2004 13:11:07.49 user1 \n', 'Tue 03/23/2004 13:45:07.34
user2 \n','Tue 03/23/2004 13:46:13.53 user2 \n', 'Tue 03/23/2004 14:22:08.45
user3 \n', 'Tue 03/23/2004 15:17:58.38 user4 \n']
>>> l
['Tue 03/23/2004 13:11:07.49 user1 \n', 'Tue 03/23/2004 13:45:07.34 user2
\n', 'Tue 03/23/2004 13:46:13.53 user2 \n', 'Tue 03/23/2004 14:22:08.45
user3 \n', 'Tue 03/23/2004 15:17:58.38 user4 \n']
>>> a=[s[27:-2] for s in l]
>>> a
['user1', 'user2', 'user2', 'user3', 'user4']


or

>>> a=[s.strip().split()[-1] for s in l]
>>> a
['user1', 'user2', 'user2', 'user3', 'user4']
