'''Hints'''
Many of you will want to save the output of some call to wikipedia to a file using open("file.tsv", "w"). You can read
the file back into python using the code below. We will cover this in more detail on Wednesday.
<source type="python">
file_handle = open("my_output.tsv", "r")  # the "r" means you are opening the file to read from it, not to write to it. Be careful about the difference!
for line in file_handle:
    line_clean = line.strip()  # remove the newline char at end of line.
    line_parts = line_clean.split('\t')  # Make a list by splitting the string on tab chars.
    print(len(line_parts))  # print the length of each line.
</source>
