Answer 1

I don’t know how you’re opening the file, but here’s what I think is the best way:

with open('FICHEIRO.txt') as f:
    for line in f:
        nome, apelido = line.split(':') # nome = Rafael, apelido.split() = Lima

If you want to keep all your ex names on a list:

Rafael:Lima
Carla:Borges

can:

nomes = []
with open('FICHEIRO.txt') as f:
    for line in f:
        nome, apelido = line.split(':') # separar linha pelos dois pontos
        nomes.append((nome, apelido.strip())) # remover a quebra de linha no apelido

print(nomes) # [('Rafael', 'Lima'), ('Carla', 'Borges')]
