split

LaunchMode.split(/, sep=None, maxsplit=-1)

Return a list of the substrings in the string, using sep as the separator string.

sep

The separator used to split the string.

When set to None (the default value), will split on any whitespace character (including n r t f and spaces) and will discard empty strings from the result.

maxsplit

Maximum number of splits. -1 (the default value) means no limit.

Splitting starts at the front of the string and works to the end.

Note, str.split() is mainly useful for data that has been intentionally delimited. With natural text that includes punctuation, consider using the regular expression module.
