title: Applying regex on each item of a list in Python
body: <p>If I apply this regex:</p>
  
  <pre><code>re.split(r"(^[^aeiou]+)(?=[aeiouy])", "janu")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>on the string "janu", it gives the following result: <code>['', 'j', 'anu']</code></p>
  
  <p>Now I want to apply this regex on the following list to get the similar results for each item as above. Can a <code>for</code> loop be used, and if yes, how?</p>
  
  <pre><code>lista = ['janu', 'manu', 'tanu', 'banu']
  </code></pre>
