Answer 1

You can use something like this:

# Open file and read lines
input_file = open('filename.csv')
lines = input_file.readlines()

# Create list with n sublists (n - number of columns)
l = [[] for _ in lines[0].split('\t')]

# Fill in sublists
for line in lines:
    for i, column in enumerate(line.split('\t')):    
        l[i].append(column)
