Or you want to have some "partition" method which accept regular expressions:

head, sep, tail = some_str.partition(re.compile(sep+'.'*offset))

Neat! +1 on regexps as an argument to partition().

Are you sure? I would instead expect to find a .partition method on a regexp object: head, sep, tail = re.compile(sep+'.'*offset).partition(some_str) Shane
