Python

Newbie to Python here

I made a function that calculates distribution of certain characters in any given text file and saves them in another *.txt file like so 'character' + '\t' + percentage + '\n'
And now I'm trying to write the characters and their distribution percentages from that *.txt file to a new dictionary which takes the character as keys, and percentages as values.

I can't figure out how to transfer the files from that document to the dictionary...

to visualize:

def read_dist(filename):
dictdist={}
#### This part here ####
return dictdist

Come on give me a fucking break

Well thanks I guess
Only thing is that I can't use .strip() because the character cluster may start with a space. All I really need to remove are the '\n' next line commands.

Lack of [code] tags?
He didn't indent his FIOC code.
