you can loop on file object , split lines, use simple indexing print expected output:

with open('example.txt') f:     line in f:         items = line.split()         print items[0], ' '.join(items[-3:])

output :

kei 3 4 5 igor 7 8 9 guillem 6 9 5

the benefit of using with statement opening file close file @ end of block automatically.

as more elegant approach can use unpacking assignment in python 3.x:

with open('example.txt') f:     line in f:         name, *rest = line.split()         print(name, ' '.join(rest))
