spliterator

Split line streams into managable chunks

Usage

Take things.txt as follows.

Thing Name Thing 1
Thing Color Red
Thing Hair Big
Thing Motto I am Number 1!
Thing Name Thing 2
Thing Color Red
Thing Hair Big
Thing Motto Seconds Please!

And lets iterate through each line while adding in start and end events around each individual thing.

>>> import spliterator
>>> for event, line in spliterator.chunk(open('things.txt'), 'Thing Name'):
...   print(event, line)
...
START None
LINE Thing Name Thing 1
LINE Thing Color Red
LINE Thing Hair Big
LINE Thing Motto I am Number 1!
END None
START None
LINE Thing Name Thing 2
LINE Thing Color Red
LINE Thing Hair Big
LINE Thing Motto Seconds Please!
END None

Now we can process specific things properly based on the event variable.
