Python split with examples

"""
Rsplit. Usually rsplit() is the same as split.
The only difference occurs when the second argument is specified. 
This limits the number of times a string is separated.

So:
When we specify 3, 
we split off only three times from the right. 
This is the maximum number of splits that occur.
