So, what am I doing wrong?
Exactly what the traceback says: you're taking `lines`, the list you
created of all the lines in the file, and trying to split the list *as a
whole* on commas. That doesn't work. You split strings, not lists. By
the looks of it that line is something left over from a previous attempt.
Just delete it, it's not doing anything useful for you.
