[IronPython] Zero-length regex split

[Dino Viehland]

Thanks for the report Seo.  I've filed bug #11759 (http://www.codeplex.com/IronPython/WorkItem/View.aspx?WorkItemId=11759).  Could you vote on this?  Given that there's no real work around I'd like to make sure this one stays on our radar.  Thanks!

This sucks. I'm not sure which sucks more: that such code exists, or
that it breaks on IronPython in hard-to-find manner.

import re
print re.split(':*', 'a:b::c')

Quick workaround is to replace the pattern ':*' with ':+'. This may
not be always possible.
