Python Split String On Newline And Keep Newline

Question

Is there a way to split a string containing a newline character into a list of strings where the newline character has been retained, eg.

"amount\nexceeds"

would produce

["amount\n", "exceeds"]

Use splitlines(), passing keepends=True:

"amount\nexceeds".splitlines(keepends=True)

gives you:

["amount\n", "exceeds"]
