Extract lines from file, add to new files

It's been several years since I've needed to write a python script so I'm
asking for advice to get me started with a brief script to separate names
and email addresses in one file into two separate files: salutation.txt and
emails.txt.
An example of the input file:
Calvin
calvin at example.com
Hobbs
hobbs at some.com
Nancy
nancy at herown.com
Sluggo
sluggo at another.com
Having extracted salutations and addresses I'll write a bash script using
sed and mailx to associate a message file with each name and email address.
I'm unsure where to start given my lack of recent experience.
TIA,
Rich
