Learning Python: Double Split technique

Trying to look for a file with bunch of test1@test.com, test2@test2.com and etc.

for line in fh:
    if not line.startswith('From: ') : continue
    email_line = line.split()
    domain = email_line[1].split('@')[1] the right hand side (domain)
    #print domain


Line # 4: double split, first split at the From, second split at the @ the pick [1] which is the left side of the string index.
