The string split method in Python
Briefly

The split method is versatile, allowing strings to be divided by various separators, but using it without arguments splits on all whitespace and cleans up ends.
Utilizing maxsplit allows for precise control over the number of splits, enabling users to focus on the first few occurrences of a separator within the string.
The rsplit method is beneficial for splitting from the right side of strings, effectively reversing the operation of the traditional split method.
In cases where advanced splitting is needed—like ignoring repeated separators or splitting on multiple characters—regular expressions via Python’s re module are the optimal choice.
