You've asked for items 0 and 1 of the list tmp. One of those indexes is 
out of range. That most likely means you have a line with no ":" in it, 
so tmp only has one item, not two.

You can see that for yourself by putting a line "print tmp" just after 
the split().

You might also like to consider doing this:


def print_tabela(tabela):
    print "Tabela 1 | Tabela 2"
    for linha in tabela:
        print linha.replace(":", " | ")



Hope this helps,
