I think, yes it is necessary to split the data in separate lists/arrays. Although I find it annoying, too. In case that not only the if, but also the how is the matter of your question something like xs = [ float(x) for x, _ in map(str.split, l) ] ys = [ float(y) for _, y in map(str.split, l) ] should do the trick.
