for line in fi:
    line.split()

Its ideal to just iterate over a file object.

'francesco 10'.split()

will give you ['francesco', '10'].

# out is your file
out.readline().split() # result is ['francesco', '10']

Assuming that your two strings are separated by whitespace. You can split based on any string (comma, colon, etc.)

Why not read just the line and split it up later? You'd have to read byte-by-byte and look for the space character, which is very inefficient. Better to read the entire line, and then split the resulting string on the space, giving you two strings.
