Description

Jon Taylor is having an issue with starting Mantid which turns out to be a bug in a code path that is not traced through by our test server.

If the pythonalgorithms.directories key has a semi-colon in it then the below error message is raised. 

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 43, in <module>
File "/Applications/MantidPlot.app/Contents/MacOS/mantid/__init__.py", line 86, in <module>
_plugins.load(kernel.config['pythonalgorithms.directories'])
File "/Applications/MantidPlot.app/Contents/MacOS/mantid/kernel/plugins.py", line 63, in load
path = split(';')
NameError: global name 'split' is not defined
Error running init file "/Applications/MantidPlot.app/Contents/MacOS/mantidplotrc.py"

Needs fixing for the release.
