python - Loadfile, specific lines from .txt file into array -

i have .txt file , need open , create array (in python). however, not want select lines array, first line.

for example, .txt file reads:

 1 1 1  1 4 6  4 5 6  8 9 7

and, create array such that, can assign like:

 y= array([[1, 4, 6], [4, 5, 6], [8, 9, 7]])

i need generalize future files create array omits first line of text.

you do

with open(file) f:     y = [map(int, line.split()) line in f.readlines()[1:]]

notice [1:] grabs other lines except first one.
