Python file line split

[Oliver123456]

So this is probably really obvious, but how do you split a line in a file into two separate strings. My current code is:

def authentication():
    username = input("Please enter your username")
    password = input("Please enter your password")  
    for line in open("users.txt","r").readlines(): # Read the lines
        login_info = line.split() # Split on the space, and store the results in a list of two strings
        if username == login_info[0] and password == login_info[1]:
            print("Correct credentials!")
            rollDieWithPoints()
    print("Incorrect credentials.")

My formatting for my file is 'username, password'.

 

Also how can I change this code so it will accept two users!

 

Thanks!

To put the login_info into two different strings, you can just use:

username_test, password_test = line.split() # space is the default, but you can put ", " into the parentheses to split by the comma and space.

What do you mean, "accept two users"? Do you mean test for two users (and two passwords) at once?

How do i put that into my code, and yes test for two users to be authenticated then let them play the game (which i have already written).
