Just group your re:
>>> import re
>>>
>>> re.split("ab", "abracadabra")
['', 'racad', 'ra']
>>> re.split("(ab)", "abracadabra")
['', 'ab', 'racad', 'ab', 'ra']
and you get it in the return value. In fact, re.split with a grouped re is
very much like Raymond's str.partition method without the guarantee of
returning a three-element list.
