Documentation for the 'split' module
=====================================

The module contains a 'split' function, which 
splits a string taking as separators "," and ";".
This is an example of usage:
    
>>> from split import split
>>> split("hello, world!; welcome to the Italian Code Jam!")
['hello', 'world!', 'welcome to the Italian Code Jam!']

Notice that 'split' eats whitespaces:

>>> split("hello ,  world")
['hello', 'world']

>>> split("hello , ;  world")
['hello', '', 'world']
