If your delimiter is a non-empty string, you
can use an iterator like:
def it(S, sub):
start = 0
sublen = len(sub)
while True:
idx = S.find(sub,start)
if idx == -1:
yield S[start:]
raise StopIteration
else:
yield S[start:idx]
start = idx + sublen
target_string = 'abcabcabc'
for subs in it(target_string,'b'):
print subs
For something more complex,
you may be able to use
re.finditer.
