If you are considering other than re:

s="[Honda] Japanese manufacturer [VTEC] Name of electronic lift control"
result = []
tempStr = ""
flag = False
for i in s:
    if i == '[':
        flag = True
    elif i == ']':
        flag = False
    elif flag:
        tempStr = tempStr + i
    elif tempStr != "":
        result.append(tempStr)
        tempStr = ""

print result

Output:

['Honda', 'VTEC']
