The response from the server consists of a pair of hashes and a list
of URLs for doing different things with the file the hashes represent.
So the full response is like this:
file_hash
delete_hash
http://server.com/file_hash.ext
http://server.com/file_hashA.ext
http://server.com/file_hashB.ext
http://server.com/file_hashC.ext
http://server.com/delete/deletehash
I'm hoping to assign each line of that response to a separate variable
so I can format the output on a case-by-case basis, e.g.:
direct_link = <third URL in response>
print "Direct link to file: %s' % direct_link
-or-
delete_file = <seventh URL in response>
print "Delete the file: %s' % delete_file
I've got seven lines worth of server response, their order is
significant, and I need to be able to present each value in an
arbitrary way. I won't necessarily be presenting these values to the
user in the same order they come in the server response. Some of the
values I'll need to use elsewhere in the script to do other things,
but it won't be necessary to present those values to the user.
I'm not sure I'm even making sense to myself.

Assuming the server response is in a single string, which consists of 7
strings separated by newlines.
response = server_getdata(....)
responseList = response.splitlines()
file_hash, delete_hash, direct_link, other_link, other_link3,
other_link4, delete_file = responseList
