Function to split path

[ghost]

Would something like this be acceptable?

    def split_all(path):
        all_parts = []
        while True:
            parts = os.path.split(path)
            if parts[0] == path:  # sentinel for absolute paths
                all_parts.insert(0, parts[0])
                break
            elif parts[1] == path:  # sentinel for relative paths
                all_parts.insert(0, parts[1])
                break
            else:
                path = parts[0]
                all_parts.insert(0, parts[1])
        return all_parts

I recommend you use pathlib it's part of the standard library in Python 3.4+ and it's been backported to earlier python.

You just do pathlib.Path(path).parts to get this functionality.
