No criticism, no dissension but an alternative solution:

def cSplit(regex,stuff):
    """Split 'stuff' along 'regex' seams."""
    match = regex.search(stuff)
    if not match:
        return [stuff]
    begin, end = match.span()
    if begin == 0:
        return [stuff[begin:end]] + cSplit(regex,stuff[end:])
    else:
        return [stuff[:begin], stuff[begin:end]] + cSplit(regex,stuff[end:])

For those who like recursion. Contains some redundancy -
for sake of readability (??)
