re.split() doesn't work as I intend.
My Python Version is 2.4.1
(#65, Mar 30 2005, 09:13:57) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on win32.
For example,
r = re.compile('^$', re.MULTILINE)
r.split('foo\nbar\n\nbaz')
['foo\nbar\n\nbaz']
but I expected ['foo\nbar\n', 'baz'].
This problem has been discussed following threads.

re.split on empty patterns

Will it be fixed in Python 2.4.2?
