This is most like the next line read from text file does not follow the
pattern: tag."one" "two" ....

you may use following modified script:

import string
file = open ("file")
lines = file.readlines()
for line in lines:
    pair = string.split(line,":")
    if len(pair) == 2:
        print pair[0] +": "+ `string.split(string.strip(pair[1]),",")`
    else:
        print 'warning wrong format line %s'%pair
file.close()
