don't use semicolons in python! As suspected, you are trying to read a RTF file.
First reformat your file. I propose also an other way:

import csv

list1 = []
with open("extedit.txt") as tsv:
    for line in csv.reader(tsv, dialect="excel-tab"):
        list1.append(line[0])

del list1[0]
print(list1)
