Hello, I'd like to split a string by commas, but only at the "top level" so to speak. An element can be a comma-less substring, or a quoted string, or a substring which looks like a function call. If some element contains commas, I don't want to split it.
Examples: 'foo, bar, baz' => 'foo' 'bar' 'baz' 'foo, "bar, baz", blurf' => 'foo' 'bar, baz' 'blurf' 'foo, bar(baz, blurf), mumble' => 'foo' 'bar(baz, blurf)' 'mumble' Can someone suggest a suitable regular expression or other method to split such strings? Thank you very much for your help. Robert -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
