FIXEDI writing something in python that needs to loop through a file, treating new lines and spaces identically, but currently it does not work for new lines.

For Example:

input = "hello" "hi"; print print
output = ['hello',hi'] and ['print','print']

however, the input

"hello"
"hi";
print
print

should produce an identical output, just using newline instead of space, however it produces

['hellohi'] and ['printprint']

So my code is not recognizing new lines in the same way as the spaces.

def run(file):
    with open(file) as prog:
        part = 1
        line = ""
        qu = 0
        args = []
        exe = []
        data = prog.read().replace('\n', '')
        for x in range(0,len(data)):
            if data[x] == "\"":
                if qu == 0:
                    print("qu = 1")
                    qu = 1
                else:
                    print("qu = 0")
                    print(line)
                    qu = 0
            else:
                if (data[x] == " " or data[x] == "\n" or data[x] == ";") and qu != 1: #here the '\n' is meant to be identical to the ' ' but it is not. 
                    if part == 1:
                        print("part = 1")
                        if line != "":
                            args.append(line)
                    elif part == 2:
                        print("part = 2")
                        if line != "":
                            exe.append(line)
                    line = ""
                else:
                    line = line + data[x]
            if data[x] == ";":
                print("part = 2")
                part = 2
        if part == 1:
            args.append(line)
        elif part == 2:
            exe.append(line)
        print(args)
        print(exe)

can you help with this?

So, learning Python? What do you like/not like?
