Python split function with multiple delimeters

Question

Anyone help me with multiple delimeters for split function? For instance, given a string "#1(X,Y)", I want to use delimiters such as (, ',', ) to get a set like ('#1', 'X', 'Y')

Thanks

You separate delimiters with a "|".

For example:

import re
test_string = "'X, Y; Z*W'"
re.split('; |, |\*|\n',test_string)
['X', 'Y', 'Z', 'W']

I tried re.split('\\( | , |\\)', '#1(X,Y)') but failed – youngtackpark May 07 '21 at 08:14
Another way would be to use sub and then split afterward. – Mattjo May 07 '21 at 08:32
