Actually, if I may rewrite some sections of your code -

So to clarify the first line has 4 values? Are they likely to be
separated by whitespace characters other than space? If not, then you
could just use a = firstline.split(" ") instead of
> > p = re.compile(r'\s+')
> > list = p.split(firstline)
>start = int(float(list[1]))
> interval = int(float(list[2]))
> n = int(float(list[3]))
list[1] is a string, so if I'm not missing something, start =
int(list[1]) will do just fine.

arr_xy=[]
for i in range(start, stop, interval):
sub_arr_xy = []
sub_arr_xy.append(i)
sub_arr_xy.append(float(cobra_xy_file.readline() ) )
arr_xy.append(sub_arr_xy)
Should do the same thing.
Good luck,
