Heh, just today I was wondering if we should kill splitlines:
$ grep splitlines `find Lib -name '*.py'` | egrep -v
'(difflib|/test/|UserString)' | wc
24 111 1653
$ egrep 'split[^l]' `find Lib -name '*.py'` | egrep -v
'(difflib|/test/|UserString)' | wc
916 4943 63104
splitlines() is pretty lightly used. split() has many uses (not surprising).
