Hi,

are there a strtok equivalent in python ? str.split() only takes single
seperator.

use a regular expression split with a character group:

>>> s = "breakfast=spam+egg-bacon"
>>> import re
>>> re.split("[-+=]", s)
['breakfast', 'spam', 'egg', 'bacon']

to deal with an arbitrary set of delimiting characters without having to
bother with RE syntax, use re.escape:

>>> re.split("[" + re.escape("-+=") + "]", s)
['breakfast', 'spam', 'egg', 'bacon']

</F>
