[Baypiggies] python newbie

[Jerome Jabson]

I'm having problems trying to parse a text file and
separating it's contents into a dictionary. The file
as something like:

name
This is the description of the name.

another_name
Another description of this name.

The dictionary should look like:

dict = {name: This is the description of the name.,
another_name: Another discription of this name}

I tried doing something like:

dict = {}
f = open("text-file", "r)
for line in f:
   items = line
    dict[items[0]] = items[1:]
print dict

but the dictionary comes out all wrong! :-( Can
someone give me some pointers on how to do this.

Help is much appreciated!
Jeff
