Or more succintly (but not tested):
sections = [
("3", "section_1")
("5", "section_2")
("\xFF", "section_3")

with open(input_path) as input_file:
lines = iter(input_file)
for end, path in sections:
with open(path, "w") as output_file:
for line in lines:
if line>= end:
break
output_file.write(line)
Consider the condition "line>= end".
If it's true, then control will break out of the inner loop and start
the inner loop again, getting the next line.
But what of the line which caused it to break out? It'll be lost.
Of course you're correct - my reply was too rushed. Here's a
hopefully working version (but still untested :).
sections = [
("3", "section_1")
("5", "section_2")
("\xFF", "section_3")
]

Missing commas! :-)
