I have received an archive with several results from DNAsp, the content of the file is like that (only the firsts lines, the original archive have zillions of lines.:

As we can see, had several redundant lines (Input data file, for example), and the specific information is always after ":". To analyze those results, I want to make a table with several pieces of information (name of the file, number of sites, and the results of each evolutive test (Tajima, Fu and Li's and Linkage Disequilibrium).

I have a little experience with Python, and I think that a method with python dictionary and conversion to data frame can be a good choice to resolve my problem. So I wrote that script:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import pandas as pd
# opening txt file
file = open("GST71_OK.txt","r")
#creating output file
output = open('output.csv','w+')
# creating dictionary keys order
keys_order = ["Input Data File","Number of sites","Variable (polymorphic) sites", "Nucleotide diversity, Pi",
              "Value of ZnS", "Value of Za","Value of ZZ","r^2 values","Number of pairwise comparisons",
             "Fisher's exact test","chi-square test","Tajima's D","Tajima's D(Syn)","Tajima's D(NonSyn)",
              "Tajima's D(Sil)"]

# creating dictionary
dictio = dict()
# searching patterns by line
for line in file:
    for key in keys_order: # patterns are present in keys_order
        key, values = line.strip().split(":") # values are present after ':'
        dictio.setdefault(key, set()).update(values)
# converting dictionary to dataframe
dictio_df = pd.DataFrame.from_dict(dictio, orient='index', 
                           columns=['Input','Total Sites', 'Polymorphic Sites', 'Pi', 'ZnS', 'Za','ZZ', 'r^2','Pairwise Comparisons',
                                    'Fischer','Chi^2','Tajimas D','Syn','NonSyn','Sil'])
#writing output
with open("output.csv", "wt") as out:
    for line in dictio_df:
        print(line,file=out)
output.close()

Briefly: the script opens the file with results, create an output, use a set of keys (pieces of information that I want) to search each key inside the input file and put this in a dictionary, convert the dictionary in a data frame and save that data frame in an output file.

But I'm blocking with that error:

ValueError                                Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-11-ae4db977bd1a> in <module>()
     16 for line in file:
     17     for key in keys_order: # patterns are present in keys_order
---> 18         key, values = line.strip().split(":") # values are present after ':'
     19         dictio.setdefault(key, set()).update(values)
     20 # converting dictionary to dataframe

ValueError: too many values to unpack (expected 2)

Can anyone help me?
