Not sure if this is what you want, but here's what I did:

<IDLE session>

>>> x = 'blah\nblah\n'
>>> lst = []
>>> templine = ''
>>> for char in x:
        if char == '\n':
                temp = templine
                lst.append(temp)
                templine = ''
        else:
                templine += char


>>> lst
['blah', 'blah']

</IDLE session>
