Parse online comma delimited text file in Python 3.5
<p>I guess this is a combination of two questions - read online text file and then parse the result into lists. I tried the following code, which can read the file into byte file but not able to convert into list</p>

<pre><code>import urllib
CFTC_URL = r"http://www.cftc.gov/dea/newcot/FinFutWk.txt"
CFTC_url = urllib.request.urlopen(CFTC_URL)
output = CFTC_url.read().decode('utf-8')
</code></pre>
