Python list index out of range on return value of split

I’m writing a simple script that is trying to extract the first element from the second column of a .txt input file.

import sys

if (len(sys.argv) > 1):
    f = open(sys.argv[1], "r");
    print "file opened";

line = [];

for line in f:
    line = line.strip("\n ' '")
    line = line.split(",") 
    print line[1]

f.close();

My input file looks like this:

Client 192.168.1.13 said ``ACC: d0bb38f18da536aff7b455264eba2f1e35dd976f,389182.567,-0.042,-0.893,0.333''

I want my delimiter to be a comma. When I print the length of the line out, I’m getting 5 elements (as expected). However, whenever I try to index the list to extract the data (i.e., when I call print line[1]), I keep getting the following error:

file opened
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "stats.py", line 13, in <module>
    print line[1]
IndexError: list index out of range

I don’t understand why it’s out of range when clearly it isn’t.
