!I dont think you want the for loop at all. It just undoes the  mistake
!of the extra brackets. Try replacing the for loop with
! :
!
!     key, value in each_line.split(':')
!
!And dedent the following line

Yep, that worked well. Thanks. I was lead to my initial line by something
else not working.
