Python regex — extraneous matchings

Question

I want to split a string using -, +=, ==, =, +, and white-space as delimiters. I want to keep the delimiter

Answer 1

Perhaps re.findall would be more suitable for you?

>>> re.findall(r'-|\+=|==|=|\+|[^-+=\s]+', "hello-+==== =+  there")
['hello', '-', '+=', '==', '=', '=', '+', 'there']
