s.partition() was invented and its design settled on as a result of looking at some awkward constructions in the standard library and other actual use cases. Sometimes it replaces s.find or s.index instead of s.split. In some cases, it is meant to be used within a loop. I was not involved and so would refer you to the pydev discussions. tjr -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
