Your code lost all indentation, be sure to post in plain text.
I'll try to guess what it might look like and remove some
of the irrelevant bits...

Perhaps a better way still is to only use the first field for the house
Then use join() to put the subsequent fields in a string. Thus replace
the whole for loop with:

if sep_addr[0].isdigit(): house_no = sep_address[0]
else: house_no = ""
street_name = " ".join(sep.addr[1:])

I hope I guessed right and I hope my suggestions make sense.
