You can split on b'\t' to get a list of byteses, which you can then
decode if you want them as strings.
You can decode the bytes to get a string and then split on '\t' to get
strings.
>>> b'tic\ttac\ttoe'.split(b'\t')
[b'tic', b'tac', b'toe']
>>> b'tic\ttac\ttoe'.decode('utf-8').split('\t')
['tic', 'tac', 'toe']
