Questions:
1. How are you determining that the output is clear? I don't know
what you mean by "output is clear".
2. Does your program close() the file that it is writing to? See:
https://docs.python.org/2/library/stdtypes.html#file.write
https://docs.python.org/2/library/stdtypes.html#file.close
as to why this may be important.
3. Your problem description says:
i need to export to file all stings which start from "Name"
but the code here:
for word in line.split():
if word in keywords:
...
is doing much more than what is required. It is checking whether
"Name" shows up anywhere on the line, not just as part of the name of
the left-hand-side key. Is that ok?
