Try it with

def test():
    L = 'a', 1, 2, 'a'
    it1, it2 = xsplitter(L, lambda x: x == 'a')
    print it1.next()
    print it2.next()
    print it1.next()
    print it2.next()


The last print statement raises StopIteration...
We, however, expected each iterator to contain
two elements (one yielding 'a' then 'a', and
the other yielding 1 then 2).
