and stupid question of the morning (for me)
i want to string.split() into a sequence, a la
l = []
l = myString.split('|')
but, of course it whines about too many values. what is the
common way to do this?

i believe the problem is really that the lhs is of the form
( a, [b] )
but i see no simple intuitive way to unpack into that

i went with the above, or more specifically
aList = line[:-1].split('|')
netName, asList = aList[0], aList[1:]
not gorgeous, but readable
and my instinct for pinning a type
