  [The manual](http://eddylab.org/software/hmmer3/3.1b2/Userguide.pdf) says fields in a tabular output file are space-delimited. It should be fairly straightforward to load a space-delimited file in pandas.
  
  From the manual:
  
  > `--tblout <f>` Save a simple tabular (space-delimited) file summarizing the per-target output, with one data line per homologous target model found.
