z=f.split("\\\t")
for i in z:
  print(i)
  print(len(z))

but it is not splitting it is printing same file as it is. I checked the length of z as well it is showing 1.

How to do that?

Your text does not contain any tabs '\t'so why would a split happen? There are a lot of backslashes \\ followed by a simple t, yet you try to split on backslashes followed by a tab. You can try:

f.split('\\t')

and see the difference.
