title: Multiple splits on a single line in Python
body: <p>I would like to know if there is a more compact (or Pythonic) way of doing several splits of some input string. Now I'm doing:</p>
  
  <pre><code>[a,bc,de] = 'a,b:c,d/e'.split(',')
  [b,c] = bc.split(':')
  [d,e] = de.split('/')
  </code></pre>
