有没有一种方法可以用python脚本更改文本文件中某一列中给定数量的值？

def update_column(file_path, column_index, new_value, num_values):
    with open(file_path, 'r') as file:
        lines = file.readlines()

    for i in range(len(lines)):
        values = lines[i].split()
        if len(values) > column_index:
            values[column_index] = str(new_value)
            num_values -= 1
        lines[i] = ' '.join(values) + '\n'

        if num_values == 0:
            break

    with open(file_path, 'w') as file:
        file.writelines(lines)

1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9

update_column('data.txt', 1, 10, 2)

1 10 3
4 10 6
7 8 9
