Who are "we"? Here's another version with the "couldn't do" problem
fixed and a few minor enhancements:
def qsplit2(chars, sep=",", quote="'"):
""" Quote aware split """
assert sep != quote
can_split = True
splitpoints = [-1] # ie. separator char found before first
letter ;)
for index, c in enumerate(chars):
if c == quote:
can_split = not can_split
elif c == sep and can_split:
splitpoints.append(index)
if not can_split:
raise ValueError("Unterminated quote")
splitpoints.append(len(chars))
# slice chars by splitpoints *omitting the separator*
slices = [chars[splitpoints[i]+1:splitpoints[i+1]]
for i in range(len(splitpoints)-1)]
return slices
Cheers,
John
