i went with the above, or more specifically
aList = line[:-1].split('|')
netName, asList = aList[0], aList[1:]
not gorgeous, but readable
and my instinct for pinning a type

Hi Randy,
I think you're expecting Perl behavior. The Perl idiom for partiall

nope, it does not send the list to a
>>> l = []
>>> s = 'a|b'
>>> t, l = s.split('|')
>>> t
'a'
>>> l
'b'
i believe the problem is

How about
>>> s='1|2|3|4'
>>> l=s.split('|')
>>> a, l = l[0], l[1:]
>>> a
'1'
>>> l
['2', '3', '4']

well that would definitely cause your error.
The string.split sends the list to a, but after that it's looking for
something to assign to l and there's nothing leftover from the command
for it to assign.

Works fine for me:
>>> l = []
>>>a='1|2|3|4'
>>> l=a.split('|')
>>>l
['1', '2', '3', '4']

and stupid question of the morning (for me)
i want to string.split() into a sequence, a la
l = []
l = myString.split('|')
but, of course it whines about too many values. what is the
common way to do this?
