You can simply load this type of file using numpy. EX: import numpy as np ascii_grid = np.loadtxt("filename.asc")

@haritha1022: .asc files are simple text files with 6 line headers. These lines contains the geographic information. You can use the loadtxt function in numpy, however, you need to skip the first 6 lines. Here's an example:

import numpy as np
ascii_grid = np.loadtxt("bio_1.asc", skiprows=6)
