from textwrap import wrap
filepath='/media/ibaad/IBAAD/ab010120.18n'
with open(filepath) as fp:
data=fp.read() # read all the data into single string
data1=data.split('END OF HEADER') # split a string into list
data_section=data1[1]
data_section=data_section[1:]
data_section=wrap(data_section,582)

with open(filepath, 'r') as fp:
data=fp.readlines()

The documentation says
Output:Help on function wrap in textwrap:
textwrap.wrap = wrap(text, width=70, **kwargs)
Wrap a single paragraph of text, returning a list of wrapped lines.
Reformat the single paragraph in 'text' so it fits in lines of no
more than 'width' columns, and return a list of wrapped lines. By
default, tabs in 'text' are expanded with string.expandtabs(), and
all other whitespace characters (including newline) are converted to
space. See TextWrapper class for available keyword args to customize
wrapping behaviour.
