How about:
new_string = text.rsplit(',', 1)[0]
This also expands to throwing away more than one right-hand bit if
you want:
from string import ascii_lowercase
text = ",".join(ascii_lowercase)
to_throw_away = 5
new_string = text.rsplit(',', n)[0]
or throwing away `n` left-hand bits too using .split()
left_portion = text.split(',', n)[-1]
