[New-bugs-announce] [issue17343] Add a version of str.split which returns an iterator

[Alex Gaynor]

New submission from Alex Gaynor:

str.split returns a list, which is inefficient when you just want to process items one be one. You could emulate this with str.find and tracking indexes manually, but this should really be a builtin behavior.
