Do we even need the line

??!!

It seems to work the same without it.

from collections import deque

def xsplitter(seq, pred):
     Q = deque(),deque()
     it = iter(seq)
     def gen(p):
         for x in it:
             if pred(x) == p:
                 Q[p].append(x)
                 while Q[p]:  yield Q[p].popleft()
             else:
                 Q[~p].append(x)
         while Q[p]:  yield Q[p].popleft()
     return gen(1),gen(0)

What's up here? Was it a fata morgana? Am I overlooking something?
