python striping results

I'm trying to do something pretty simple:

line = "name      :    bob"
k, v = line.lower().split(':')
k = k.strip()
v = v.strip()

Is there a way to combine this into one line? I've found myself writing this over and over when creating parsers, and sometimes it involves more than just two variables.

I know I can use regexp, but it's simple enough not to require it ...

k, v = [x.strip() for x in line.lower().split(':')]
