How to parse email and passwords from text file (Python)
how would I go about extracting emails and passwords from a text file in the format of email:pass ? I would like to attribute email to a variable, and password to a variable as well.

Assuming the text file has the form of-
email:password
email:password
email:password
and so on, here's how you could extract each piece
afile = open("yourfile.txt", "r')
for line in afile:
pieces = line.split(":")
email = pieces[0]
password = pieces[1]
#do whatever else you need to with each email and password here>
You'll have to make sure that your Python file is in the same directory as the .txt file for this to run correctly as-is (replacing "yourfile.txt" with your actual filename, of course). The only thing to watch out for is if an email address could have a ":" in it. If it does, for example "abc:def@email.com", then "abc" would get set as the email and "def@email.com" would get set as the password. If emails can include colons, then you'd have a bit more work to better split each line. But if they don't include colons, you're set.

You can debug by printing out the variable pieces before indexing to get the email and password. That indicates that there's a line that doesn't get correctly split

If it is comma separated (ie me@email.com, password), convert the file to a CSV file extension and then this is easily done using Pandas.
You could then do:
import pandas as pd
data = pd.read_csv('filepath/to/the/file.csv')
email = data.iloc[0, 0]
password = data.iloc[0, 1]
I should add that if they are not comma separated, adding
, sep = '(whatever the separator is)'
in the brackets for read_csv will make this work for anything.
For example:
data = pd.read_csv('filepath/to/the/file.csv', sep = ':')

If you have a file like:
email1:password1
email2:password2:
email3:password3
Then you can create a dictionary using:
emails = {email : password for email, password in map( lambda x:x.split(':'), open('file.txt', 'r').readlines() )}
This will allow you to call password values using the email string:
emails['email1']
password1

If it is comma separated (ie me@email.com, password), convert the file to a CSV file extension and then this is easily done using Pandas.
You could then do:
import pandas as pd
data = pd.read_csv('filepath/to/the/file.csv')
email = data.iloc[0, 0]
password = data.iloc[0, 1]
I should add that if they are not comma separated, adding
, sep = '(whatever the separator is)'
in the brackets for read_csv will make this work for anything.
For example:
data = pd.read_csv('filepath/to/the/file.csv', sep = ':')
