How can I pull data from a text file using Python? [closed]

by

I’d split the lines up by the first : and strip the results:

data = {}
with open(filename) as inputf:
    for line in inputf:
        if not ':' in line:
            continue
        label, value = map(str.strip, line.split(':', 1))
        if label and value:
            data[label] = value

which outputs the following mapping:

{'ACCESSION NUMBER': '0001054274-12-000001',
 'CENTRAL INDEX KEY': '0001054274',
 'COMPANY CONFORMED NAME': 'Alliqua, Inc.',
 'CONFORMED SUBMISSION TYPE': 'D',
 'DATE AS OF CHANGE': '20120301',
 'EFFECTIVENESS DATE': '20120301',
 'FILED AS OF DATE': '20120301',
 'FISCAL YEAR END': '1220A',
 'IRS NUMBER': '582349413',
 'ITEM INFORMATION': 'Rule 506',
 'PUBLIC DOCUMENT COUNT': '1',
 'STANDARD INDUSTRIAL CLASSIFICATION': 'SURGICAL & MEDICAL INSTRUMENTS & APPARATUS [3841]',
 'STATE OF INCORPORATION': 'FL'}
