There was a problem hiding this comment.
Looks good:
❯ ./python.exe
Python 3.13.0a2+ (heads/splitter!-dirty:c50dd463dd, Dec 21 2023, 14:51:45) [Clang 15.0.0 (clang-1500.1.0.2.5)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> help(str().split)
Help on built-in function split:
split(sep=None, maxsplit=-1) method of builtins.str instance
Return a list of the substrings in the string, using sep as the separator string.
sep
The separator used to split the string.
When set to None (the default value), will split on any whitespace
character (including \n \r \t \f and spaces) and will discard
empty strings from the result.
maxsplit
Maximum number of splits.
-1 (the default value) means no limit.
Splitting starts at the front of the string and works to the end.
Note, str.split() is mainly useful for data that has been intentionally
delimited. With natural text that includes punctuation, consider using
the regular expression module.
>>> help(str().rsplit)
Help on built-in function rsplit:
rsplit(sep=None, maxsplit=-1) method of builtins.str instance
Return a list of the substrings in the string, using sep as the separator string.
sep
The separator used to split the string.
When set to None (the default value), will split on any whitespace
character (including \n \r \t \f and spaces) and will discard
empty strings from the result.
maxsplit
Maximum number of splits.
-1 (the default value) means no limit.
Splitting starts at the end of the string and works to the front.
>>>Thanks everyone!
