The partition method
The partition method returns a tuple of a string split at the first match of a substring and the specified delimiter parameter.
Syntax
string.partition(separator)
Example
Let's apply the partition method to the following line:
txt = 'abc_dea'
print(txt.partition('_'))
Result of code execution:
('abc', '_', 'dea')
Example
Now let's add an extra character '_' to our string and apply the partition method again:
txt = 'ab_cd_ea'
print(txt.partition('_'))
As can be seen from the obtained result, the method split the string only by the first match of the character '_':
('ab', '_', 'cd_ea')
