I have often wished that in 'split' I could specify a _set_ of characters on which the string would be split, in the same way the default list of whitespace characters causes a split where any one (or more) of them appears. But instead the string argument is a multi-character separator. (Which is sometimes useful and I wouldn't want to lose the ability to specify a multi-character separator!)
import re re.split('[,.]','blah,blah.blah')
['blah', 'blah', 'blah'] -Mark -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
