line.rsplit(None, 1)
seems to do the trick for me:
>>> tests=[
... ("text (xxx)", ("text","(xxx)")),
... ("text (text) (yyy)", ("text (text)","(yyy)")),
... ("text (text) (text) (zzz)", ("text (text) (text)","(zzz)"))
... ]
>>> for test, result in tests:
... r = test.rsplit(None,1)
... if r[0] <> result[0] or r[1] <> result[1]:
... print test, result
...
shows that the results of rsplit() match the expected results.
