split() : break the string using delimiter in Python

split()

split() returns a list after breaking a string using delimiter and max value

my_str.split(delimiter,max_value)

delimiter : (default is space), required, to be used to break the string
max_value : optional , the number of elements in output plus one. Default value is -1 so it includes all occurrence.

my_list="'Alex','Ronald','John'"
my_list=my_list.split(',')
print(my_list)

my_list="'Alex','Ronald','John'"
my_list=my_list.split(',',1)
print(my_list)

output

["'Alex'", "'Ronald'", "'John'"]
["'Alex'", "'Ronald','John'"]

By using rsplit() in place of split(), the output will change like this. ( difference between rsplit() and split() )

["'Alex'", "'Ronald'", "'John'"]
["'Alex','Ronald'", "'John'"]
