okay, have been approaching the wrong way. Can you please help me write the 
correct code?  Here's first attempt:

def import_a_tab_file():
    rows = open(filename, 'cities1000.txt') ## question: what directory is 
source file in?
    for row in rows:
        db.City.insert(city_name = line.split('\t'), city_population = 
line.split('\t')) 
        ## or should above literally copy what you typed and field values 
are automatically inserted in sequential order?   values = line.split('\t')

thanks,

Alex
