Look into 're' module. Essentially, split using '...', but return the
separator as well. Then, remove empty items. In Bash shell, you would
do
a="Hello World"
set -- "${a|?...}" # extract '...' separators
pp_collapse # remove null items
printf '{%s}\n' "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Translating to Python is left as homework.
