title: split string into list of tuples?
body: <p>I have a string of key-value pairs, which unfortunately are separated by the same symbol. Is there a way to "just split" it into a list of tuples, without using a lambda?</p>
  
  <p>Here is what i have:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Moscow|city|London|city|Royston Vasey|vilage
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What i want:</p>
  
  <pre><code>[("Moscow","city"), ("London", "city")....] 
  </code></pre>
