Not surprisingly, the above three lines work perfectly well in a script:
d = "5-18-05 to 5-31-05"
print d[0:d.find("to")-1]
print d[d.find("to")+3:]
and the output is:
C:\temp>t.py
5-18-05
5-31-05
Perhaps if you were to post an actual script which doesn't work and the
actual error it generates, it might be possible to help you.
