list comprehension to do os.path.split_all ?

Hi,

Not sure what your exact requirements are, but the following seems to work:

pathname = '/home/gyoung/hacks/pathhack/foo.py'
print pathname[1:].split("/")

Note that this would only work for absolute linux paths (i.e. starting 
with "/").

Best regards,
Stefaan.
