You could use the int() function to try to convert a line to an integer,
and if that fails with a ValueError exception, assume that it is a name.
names=[]
numbers=[]
for line in open("mixed.txt"):
try:
nr=int(line)
# it's an integer
numbers.append(line)
except ValueError:
# it's not an integer
names.append(line)
f=open("numbers.txt","wt")
f.write("".join(numbers))
f.close()
f=open("names.txt","wt")
f.write("".join(names))
f.close()
