Code Magnets

Add the code magnets at the bottom of this page to your existing
code to satisfy the following requirements:

1. Create an empty list called man.
2. Create an empty list called other.
3. Add a line of code to remove unwanted whitespace from the
line_spoken variable.
4. Provide the conditions and code to add line_spoken to the
correct list based on the value of role.
5. Print each of the lists (man and other) to the screen.

try:
data = open('sketch.txt')
for each_line in data:
try:
(role, line_spoken) = each_line.split(':', 1)

except ValueError:
pass
data.close()
except IOError: Here are your magnets.
print('The datafile is missing!')

elif role == 'Other Man':
if role == 'Man': man = []

line_spoken = line_spoken.strip() other = [] other.append(line_spoken)

print(man)
print(other)
man.append(line_spoken)
