any modules having a function to partition a list by predicate provided?

[knifenomad]

i know it's not very hard to get that solution.
just by implementing simple function like below.

      def partition(target, predicate):
            """
            split a list into two partitions with a predicate
provided.
            any better ideas? :)
            """
            true = []
            false= []
            for item in target:
                if predicates(item):
                    true.append(item)
                else:
                    false.append(item)
            return true, false

but i wonder if there's another way to do this with standard libraries
or .. built-ins.
if it's not, i'd like the list objects to have partition method like
string module has.

true, false = [1,2,3,4].partition(lambda x: x >1)

print true, false
[2,3,4]   [1]
