The most important difference between my suggestion and that of the OP is
that he limited the key function to something which returns a truth

Generally along the lines of
def scatter (seq, criterion):
lists = {}
for s in seq:
lists.setdefault (criterion (s), []).append (s)
return lists
modulo a defaultdict or some such ?
Somehow this reminds me of the new Counter class, except that it's
making lists instead of counts.
