Split() TypeError in Python

I ran a Python program and I am getting the following error as below:

   File :...,line ...,in <module>  
   results = parse_file(text, ['stderr'], ['ERROR', 'WARN'])
  
   Fie :....,line ...,in parse_file
   all_containers=re.split('^Container:container_',text,flags=re.MULTILINE)
   TypeError: split() got an unexpected keyword argument 'flags'

Below is my code:

def parse_file(text,filter_log_types=None,filter_content_types=None):
    full_text_lines=text.split('\n')

    results=[]

    all_containers=re.split('^Container:container_',text,flags=re.MULTILINE)

    for item in all_containers[1:]:
        data=parse_container(item, full_text_lines, filter_log_types, filter_content_types)
        results.append(data)

    return results 

if __name__ == '__main__':
    text = open("lg.txt").read()
    results = parse_file(text, ['stderr'], ['ERROR', 'WARN'])

I am using Python 2.6.6. Please help me to sort out this error. Thanks a lot!

The flags keyword argument was added in python 2.7 version, so it raises an error in your code

Try to use re.compile() in combination with split()

all_containers=re.compile('^Container:container_',flags=re.MULTILINE).split(text)
