It looks like you have csv like data. Except you have a semicolon as

Joel, will the labels (like SERIAL_ROI:) cause me difficulties? I will
need to strip these off to get to the actual data. But when I
implement a data editor later, these labels will be needed (I think.).
You will get the name:value fields as strings.
You can then use string.split(':') to separate them and
then either lose the label or convert them to a dictionary.
If its not too big a task you could even convert the data
structure to JSON which is quite a close match to what you
have now and the json module will help you read/write
to them.
I just now have located the documentation for python 2.4.4. It does
not seem to be as friendly or easy to read as for the current version
documentation.
Shouldn't be that much different.
What kind of anomalies are you seeing?
