Abhinav, I second upgrading.  There's been so much great stuff added to 
Python since 1.5, it's well worth the upgrade.

If you're stuck on 1.5.2, I *think* this will do what you want (I'm 
actually executing under 2.4.1, but I think this should work under 1.5 as 
well):

>>> import string
>>> a="43;dsds;d"
>>> b=string.split(a,';')
>>> b
['43', 'dsds', 'd']
