I can not say too much because I don't see what is processed
but what I can say is: "line.split(',')[1].strip()" might be
called three times so I would do it once only. And I would write
it like this:

for line in outf:
    key = line.split(',')[1].strip()
    if not (key in universe.keys()):
        if not (key in done_.keys()):
            universe[key] = 0
