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.

Thanks! I guess I should have read the documentation carefully instead of assuming re.split() worked like in some other language (namely, PHP). Regards Antoine.
