You could use string.replace to change the \, sequence into a sequence
that won't appear in your input, then split on ,.  For example, if you
know that you'll never get any strings with "\@" in it, then you
could do:

t = 'uid=joe, ou=orgunit, o=some\\, org'
t1 = string.replace(t, r'\,', r'\@')
l = string.split(t1, ',')
l1 = map(lambda str: string.replace(str, r'\@', r'\,'), l)

(the last line goes through and changes "\@" back to "\,")
