How to split text file into number of text files using python

I have a huge text file which have a data set like this 

EOG61ZHH8   ENSRNOG00000004762  627
EOG61ZHH8   ENSRNOG00000004762  627
EOG61ZHH9   ENSG00000249709 1075
EOG61ZHH9   ENSG00000249709 230
EOG61ZHH9   ENSG00000249709 87
EOG61ZHHB   ENSG00000134030 2347
EOG61ZHHB   ENSG00000134030 3658
EOG61ZHHB   ENSRNOG00000018342  241
EOG61ZHHB   ENSRNOG00000018342  241
EOG61ZHHC   ENSBTAG00000006084  1159
EOG61ZHHC   ENSG00000158828 820
EOG61ZHHC   ENSMMUG00000000126  631

and i want to convert or split it like this

EOG61ZHH8.txt
ENSRNOG00000004762  627
ENSRNOG00000004762  627
EOG61ZHH9.txt
ENSG00000249709 1075
ENSG00000249709 230
ENSG00000249709 87

and so on. I have no clue where to start getting new txt file from the text file above , i have done this thing before but that entries have '[' sign before entry start , now i have many files but not having any special sign to convert them This is the code which i had done in python

with open("entry.txt") as f: 
  for line in f:
    if line[0] == "[":
     if out: out.close()
     out = open(line.split()[1] + ".txt", "w")
   else: out.write(line)'

I am using it in windows , so i knw about linux awk command , so kindly need no information about linux

With regular expressions;

import re

string = '    EOG61ZHH8   ENSRNOG00000004762  627    EOG61ZHH8   ENSRNOG00000004762  627    EOG61ZHH9   ENSG00000249709 1075    EOG61ZHH9   ENSG00000249709 230    EOG61ZHH9   ENSG00000249709 87    EOG61ZHHB   ENSG00000134030 2347    EOG61ZHHB   ENSG00000134030 3658    EOG61ZHHB   ENSRNOG00000018342  241    EOG61ZHHB   ENSRNOG00000018342  241    EOG61ZHHC   ENSBTAG00000006084  1159    EOG61ZHHC   ENSG00000158828 820    EOG61ZHHC   ENSMMUG00000000126  631'

result = re.findall('\s+(.*?)\s+(.*?)\s+(\d+)', string, re.S)

buffer = {}

for i in result:
    if not i[0] in buffer:
        buffer[i[0]] = ''

    buffer[i[0]] = buffer[i[0]] + i[1] + '  ' + i[2] + '\n'

for i in buffer.iteritems():
    print i

    filename = i[0] + '.txt'
    content = i[1] # you could remove the unneeded "\n" here with substring if wanted

    # CODE: Create the file with "filename"

    # CODE: Write "content" to the file

You need only a few adjustments to your script:

out = None
oldfile = None
with open("entry.txt") as f: 
    for line in f:
        newfile = l.split("\t")[0]
        if newfile != oldfile:
            if out: out.close()
            out = open(newfile + ".txt", "w")
            oldfile = newfile
        out.write("\t".join(line.split("\t")[1:]))
