How to convert a text file into a numpy array or a list of lists in python

Question

I have a text file as follows:

Now, I would like to load it into a numpy array or a list of lists which should be in the same order as that of the image above. So, I have to get an array with 3 columns and the number of rows present in the file.

I have used the following code below:

import os
a = open(os.getcwd()+'a.txt', 'r')
a = a.read()

But, I am getting an output as follows which is not a list or an array and is not what I wanted:

Can someone please help me out with this?

Your code is attempting to read() a directory. It should raise IsADirectoryError — Bert Kellerman

This will convert a space-delimited file into a list of lists.

with open('a.txt') as g:
    data = [line.strip().split() for line in g.readlines()]
