[python] Splitting on last delimiter in Python string?

What's the recommended Python idiom for splitting a string on the last occurrence of the delimiter in the string? example:

# instead of regular split
>> s = "a,b,c,d"
>> s.split(",")
>> ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd']

# ..split only on last occurrence of ',' in string:
>>> s.mysplit(s, -1)
>>> ['a,b,c', 'd']

mysplit takes a second argument that is the occurrence of the delimiter to be split. Like in regular list indexing, -1 means the last from the end. How can this be done?

You can use rsplit

string.rsplit('delimeter',1)[1]

To get the string from reverse.

I just did this for fun

    >>> s = 'a,b,c,d'
    >>> [item[::-1] for item in s[::-1].split(',', 1)][::-1]
    ['a,b,c', 'd']
