use a regular expression split with a character group:
s = "breakfast=spam+egg-bacon"
import re
re.split("[-+=]", s) ['breakfast', 'spam', 'egg', 'bacon']

to deal with an arbitrary set of delimiting characters without having to
bother with RE syntax, use re.escape:
re.split("[" + re.escape("-+=") + "]", s)

['breakfast', 'spam', 'egg', 'bacon']
