Indexing/splitting ['ABC:2', 'CDE:3']
<p>I am trying to split up a list such as in the title:</p>

<pre><code>['ABC:2', 'CDE:1']
</code></pre>

<p>Ultimately, I would like to assign the bit before and after the <code>:</code> to two different variables as I perform an iteration.</p>

<p>I'm using Python 2.7.</p>
