title: How to split a Python string on new line characters
body: <p>In Python 3 in Windows 7 I read a web page into a string.</p>
  <p>I then want to split the string into a list at newline characters.</p>
  <p>I can't enter the newline into my code as the argument in <code>split()</code>, because I get a syntax error</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p>'EOL while scanning string literal'</p>
  </blockquote>
  <p>If I type in the characters <code>\</code> and <code>n</code>, I get a Unicode error.</p>
  <p>Is there any way to do it?</p>
