I don't think you've showed us any examples of the code you're having
trouble with.  I don't see anything in your original post that tries
to split strings. If you just want to know how split works, here's an
example:

>>> t = 'Title1:Description'
>>> key, value = t.split(':')
>>> print key
Title1
>>> print value
Description
>>>

If that doesn't help, show us a sample of some of the data you're
working with, what you've
tried so far, and what the end result is supposed to look like.
