How about a list?
mystring.split(",")
It might help if you could explain what kind of info we are looking at. Maybe some background info also?
EDIT:
I had a thought you might want the info in groups of two?
then try:
re.split(r"\d*,\d*", mystring)
and also if you want them into tuples
[(pair[0], pair[1]) for match in re.split(r"\d*,\d*", mystring) for pair in match.split(",")]
in a more readable form:
mylist = []
for match in re.split(r"\d*,\d*", mystring):
for pair in match.split(",")
mylist.append((pair[0], pair[1]))
