Added a filter method to dicts The best way to explain this is probably with an example: >>> split({'foo':'bar', 'bar':['one', 'two'], 'baz': ['three', 'four']}) [{'bar': 'one', 'foo': 'bar', 'baz': 'three'}, {'bar': 'two', 'foo': 'bar', 'baz': 'three'}, {'bar': 'one', 'foo': 'bar', 'baz': 'four'}, {'bar': 'two', 'foo': 'bar', 'baz': 'four'}] Patch by: Sverre Rabbelier
