[python 2.7] I have a (linux) pathname that I'd like to split

'/home/gyoung/hacks/pathhack/foo.py' --> ['home', 'gyoung',
'hacks', 'pathhack', 'foo.py']
os.path.split gives me a tuple of dirname,basename, but there's no
os.path.split_all function.
I expect I can do this with some simple loop, but I have such faith in
the wonderfulness of list comprehensions, that it seems like there
should be a way to use them for an elegant solution of my problem.
I can't quite work it out. Any brilliant ideas? (or other elegant
solutions to the problem?)

This is not properly portable to all OS, but you could simply split on
the slash character, e.g.,
pathname.split('/')
