Split Strings w/ Multiple Separators (Python)

tsplit.py

def tsplit(string, delimiters):
    """Behaves str.split but supports multiple delimiters."""
    
    delimiters = tuple(delimiters)
    stack = [string,]
    
    for delimiter in delimiters:
        for i, substring in enumerate(stack):
            substack = substring.split(delimiter)
            stack.pop(i)
            for j, _substring in enumerate(substack):
                stack.insert(i+j, _substring)
            
    return stack

z_example

>>> s = 'thing1,thing2/thing3-thing4'
>>> tsplit(s, (',', '/', '-'))
['thing1', 'thing2', 'thing3', 'thing4']

I might try to get this into the standard lib. I see no reason for it to not be included.

Nice. Very useful. I also tried to create a less loop-y version in a fork.
