Can't figure out the cause of this list error

Question

I am trying to read this text file into a potsgres table (skipping first 6 rows). Although I can print the result set to the console as list of lists, I don't understand how to fix this.

$cat test.plt

My script:

import psycopg2

# Try to connect
query = "INSERT INTO dummy (lat, lon, flag, alt, passeddate, gpsdate, gpstime) VALUES (%s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s)"


try:
    conn=psycopg2.connect("dbname='mydb' user='myuser'  host='host_ip' password='mypass'")
except:
    print("I am unable to connect to the database.")

cur = conn.cursor()
try:

    # INSERRT data to the database
    with open('test.plt') as file: 
        file_content = file.readlines()[6:]
        values = [line.split() for line in file_content]

        cur.executemany(query, values)

except (Exception, psycopg2.DatabaseError) as error:
    print(error)

Output:

$ python dummy.py 
list index out of range

How do I fix this?

EDIT Output without using try statement

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "dummy.py", line 20, in <module>
    cur.executemany(query, values)
IndexError: list index out of range

EDIT-2

I can however print the result set to the console with

with open('test.plt') as file: # 
        file_content = file.readlines()[6:]
        values = [line.split() for line in file_content]
        print(values)
        cur.executemany(query, values)

Answer 1

I think the value assignment should look like this, yes?: values = [line[0].split(",").strip() for line in file_content]

Answer 2

It appears changing split() to split(',') solves the problem.
