All,

I have been going through the manuals and not having much luck with the
following code.  This is basically an issue of giving 'split' multiple
patterns to split a string.  If it had an ignore case switch, the problem
would be solved.  Instead, I have to code the following, which works fine
for a single byte string.  What can I do when I want to look for strings?

>>> test = 'A big Fat CAt'
>>> A = test.split('A')
>>> print A
['', ' big Fat C', 't']
>>> a = []
>>> for x in xrange(len(A)):
...     tmp = A[x].split('a')
...     for y in xrange(len(tmp)):
...         a.append(tmp[y])
...
>>>
>>> a
['', ' big F', 't C', 't']



It is odd about the help files, after I figure out how to do something, the
help makes sense.  Before hand is another story...  Are there any others out
there that share this misery? 

thanks,
Michael
