Split string in python in 2 parts backwards

Question

I am trying to split my string str = 'I HAVE 6' in two parts. The output should be
['I HAVE','6']
There is no info about the length of the words given as input. One way do this is to split it in three and add the first two. Is there any other way?

Answer 1

You can use rsplit, which splits from the right, with a maxsplit of 1:

s = 'I HAVE 6'
s.rsplit(maxsplit=1)  # or (' ', 1)
['I HAVE', '6']

As an aside, don't use the name str. It masks the built-in class str and will lead to errors down the line.
