I recently ran across this construct for grabbing the last
(whitespace delimited) word in a string:
s.rsplit(None,1)[1]
It was somewhat obvious from the context what it was supposed
to do, but it took a bit of Googling to figure out exactly what
was going on.
When I want the last word in a string, I've always done this:
s.split()[-1]
I was wondering what the advantage of the rsplit(None,1)[1]
approach would be other than inducing people to learn about the
maxsplit argument that is accepted by the split() methods?
