Works for me:

Python 2.2.1 (#1, Aug 30 2002, 12:15:30)
[GCC 3.2 20020822 (Red Hat Linux Rawhide 3.2-4)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import string
>>> nametrace = "Requirement: O111\n|"
>>> name = string.split(nametrace,'\n')
>>> name
['Requirement: O111', '|']
>>>
