Well, IMO, your example is much better written: import re rsep = re.compile(sep + '.'*offset) lst = re.split(resp, some_str, 1) head = lst[0] tail = lst[1] Or you want to have some "partition" method which accept regular expressions: head, sep, tail = some_str.partition(re.compile(sep+'.'*offset)) > > --eric > > _______________________________________________ > Python-Dev mailing list > Python-Dev@python.org > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev > Unsubscribe: > http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/pierre.barbier%40cirad.fr > -- Pierre Barbier de Reuille INRA - UMR Cirad/Inra/Cnrs/Univ.MontpellierII AMAP Botanique et Bio-informatique de l'Architecture des Plantes TA40/PSII, Boulevard de la Lironde 34398 MONTPELLIER CEDEX 5, France tel : (33) 4 67 61 65 77 fax : (33) 4 67 61 56 68 _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
