Question : split string

Hi,

Please provide shortest solution, no loops.

I have a list with specified positions where I want to cut a string.  How can I convert the string to a list?

E.g.

stringexample = samwants2go2nyc'
positions = [3,8]

the required output would be:
['sam','wants','2go2nyc']

Thanks a lot python wizards!

Answer : split string

Notice that the positions can be any sequence of numbers -- here also a tuple.
