Python partition() Method
Python StringDescription
The partition() method is used to split a string according to the specified separator.
If the string contains the specified separator, it returns a 3-element tuple: the first is the substring before the separator, the second is the separator itself, and the third is the substring after the separator.
The partition() method was added in version 2.5.
Syntax
The syntax of the partition() method is:
str.partition(str)
Parameters
str: The specified separator.
Return Value
Returns a 3-element tuple: the first is the substring before the separator, the second is the separator itself, and the third is the substring after the separator.

Example (Python 2.0+)
