copied!<p>You are splitting your line into a list of words, but only giving it one key and value.</p> <p>This will work:</p> <pre><code>with open('LIWC_words.txt', 'r') as document: answer = {} for line in document: line = line.split() if not line: # empty line? continue answer[line[0]] = line[1:] </code></pre> <p>Note that you don't need to give <code>.split()</code> an argument; without arguments it'll both split on whitespace <em>and strip the results for you</em>. That saves you having to explicitly call <code>.strip()</code>.</p> <p>The alternative is to split only on the first whitespace:</p> <pre><code>with open('LIWC_words.txt', 'r') as document: answer = {} for line in document: if line.strip(): # non-empty line? key, value = line.split(None, 1) # None means 'all whitespace', the default answer[key] = value.split() </code></pre> <p>The second argument to <code>.split()</code> limits the number of splits made, guaranteeing that there at most 2 elements are returned, making it possible to unpack the values in the assignment to <code>key</code> and <code>value</code>.</p> <p>Either method results in:</p> <pre><code>{'aaien': ['12', '13', '39'], 'aan': ['10'], 'aanbad': ['12', '13', '14', '57', '58', '38'], 'aanbaden': ['12', '13', '14', '57', '58', '38'], 'aanbeden': ['12', '13', '14', '57', '58', '38'], 'aanbid': ['12', '13', '14', '57', '58', '39'], 'aanbidden': ['12', '13', '14', '57', '58', '39'], 'aanbidt': ['12', '13', '14', '57', '58', '39'], 'aanblik': ['27', '28'], 'aanbreken': ['39']} </code></pre> <p>If you still see only <em>one</em> key and the rest of the file as the (split) value, your input file is using a non-standard line separator perhaps. Open the file with <a href="http://docs.python.org/2/glossary.html#term-universal-newlines" rel="nofollow">universal line ending support</a>, by adding the <code>U</code> character to the mode:</p> <pre><code>with open('LIWC_words.txt', 'rU') as document: </code></pre>
