File operation is slower is there a faster look up method in Python?
I am storing the values of the form given below into a file:
   
    143   800 'Ask'
    213   457 'Comment'
    424   800 'Hi'


The first column contains unique elements here.
However, the look up on the values of the first column is quite inefficient when I am storing it in file format, is there a more efficient way in Python for a faster look-up.
