In this case, it happens to return a list, which you can check with

  print type("one two three".split())

However, also in this case, it doesn't matter, since either indexes
just fine.

Then it looks like you've got a blank line that doesn't actually have
data in it, so when it tries index into it, the only thing there is
[0], not [1].  As the message suggests :)
