Splitting text in Python

Question

I'm writing some script which capture data from web site and save them into DB. Some of datas are merged and I need to split them. I have sth like this

Endokrynologia (bez st.),Położnictwo i ginekologia (II st.)

So i need to get:

Endokrynologia (bez st.)
Położnictwo i ginekologia (II st.)

So i wrote some code in python:

 #!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- encoding: utf-8

import MySQLdb as mdb
from lxml import html, etree
import urllib
import sys
import re

Nr = 17268
Link = "http://rpwdl.csioz.gov.pl/rpz/druk/wyswietlKsiegaServletPub?idKsiega="

sock = urllib.urlopen(Link+str(Nr))  
htmlSource = sock.read()                             
sock.close()
root = etree.HTML(htmlSource)
result = etree.tostring(root, pretty_print=True, method="html")
Spec = etree.XPath("string(//html/body/div/table[2]/tr[18]/td[2]/text())")
Specjalizacja = Spec(root)
if re.search(r'(,)\b', Specjalizacja):
    text = Specjalizacja.split()
    print text[0]
    print text[1]

and i get:

Endokrynologia
(bez

what i'm doing wrong ?

why not just just the BIF split(',')?

you would try to replace

text = Specjalizacja.split()

with

text = Specjalizacja.split(',')

Don't know whether that would fix your problem.
