title: Is there a way to parse a multi-line-string in python into a list of lists
body: <p>I am trying to turn something like this string with multiple lines:</p>
  
  <p>"apple, orange, cat\n, 100, 200, 300\n, 0.3, 0.5, 0.6\n"</p>
  
  <p>into something like this nested-list where each word\number is an element of each line which is an element of a bigger list:</p>
  
  <pre><code> [['apple', 'orange','cat'], 
          ['100', '200', '300'], 
          ['0.3', '0.5', '0.6']]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am also working on a large scale so way more than 3 lines</p>
  
  <p>I can't figure it out on my own. Please help.  </p>
  
  <p>I have already tried to use .append, list(), plain old [], .split where I split the lines at the <code>"\n"</code> and <code>","</code>.</p>
  
  <p>None of those worked and the closest I got was a list of the separate numbers\words but with no idea on how to split them</p>
