Sorry for not providing all the relevant info, let me provide some
additional details:

When I run this code:

    from ipwhois import IPWhois
    file=open('ip.txt', 'r')
    ipaddy=file.read()
    obj = IPWhois(ipaddy)
    results = [obj.lookup()]
    print results [0]

I receive this output:

Jons-computer:whois-0.7 2 jon$ python pythonwhois.py

I would like to refine this information and only receive these fields as my
output:
{'asn_registry': 'arin',description': 'Google Inc.',}

I was hoping there was a way to take each one of these items and read them
into a list so I can pick and choose the fields I want by index. I believe
all fields are currently stored in index position 0.

Here are the helper file contents:

 |      Args:

 |          inc_raw: Boolean for whether to include the raw whois results in

 |              the returned dictionary.

 |          retry_count: The number of times to retry in case socket errors,

 |              timeouts, connection resets, etc. are encountered.

 |          get_referral: Boolean for whether to retrieve referral whois

 |              information, if available.

 |          extra_blacklist: A list of blacklisted whois servers in
addition to

 |              the global BLACKLIST.

 |          ignore_referral_errors: Boolean for whether to ignore and
continue

 |              when an exception is encountered on referral whois lookups.

 |

 |      Returns:

 |          Dictionary: A dictionary containing the following keys:

 |                  query (String) - The IP address.

 |                  asn (String) - The Autonomous System Number.

 |                  asn_date (String) - The ASN Allocation date.

 |                  asn_registry (String) - The assigned ASN registry.

 |                  asn_cidr (String) - The assigned ASN CIDR.

 |                  asn_country_code (String) - The assigned ASN country
code.

 |                  nets (List) - Dictionaries containing network
information

 |                      which consists of the fields listed in the NIC_WHOIS

 |                      dictionary. Certain IPs have more granular network

 |                      listings, hence the need for a list object.

 |                  raw (String) - Raw whois results if the inc_raw
parameter

 |                      is True.

 |                  referral (Dictionary) - Dictionary containing referral

 |                      whois information if get_referral is True and the

 |                      server isn't blacklisted. Consists of fields listed

 |                      in the RWHOIS dictionary. Additional referral server

 |                      informaion is added in the server and port keys.

 |                  raw_referral (String) - Raw referral whois results if
the

 |                      inc_raw parameter is True.

 |

 |  *lookup_rws*(self, inc_raw=False, retry_count=3)

 |      The function for retrieving and parsing whois information for an IP

 |      address via HTTP (Whois-RWS).

 |

 |      NOTE: This should be faster than IPWhois.lookup(), but may not be as

 |          reliable. AFRINIC does not have a Whois-RWS service yet. We have

 |          to rely on the Ripe RWS service, which does not contain all of
the

 |          data we need. LACNIC RWS is in beta v2.

 |

 |      Args:

 |          inc_raw: Boolean for whether to include the raw whois results in
