You could use numpy.genfromtxt together with its `converters` parameter:
converters : variable, optional
The set of functions that convert the data of a column to a value.
The converters can also be used to provide a default value
for missing data: ``converters = {3: lambda s: float(s or 0)}``.
Cheers,
