A few example about the split function.

print my_path
split_my_path = my_path.split('/')[1:3]
print split_my_path
print '-' * 30
#############################
string01 = "Line1-abcdef \nLine2-abc \nLine4-abcd"
print string01.split()
print string01.split(' ', 1)
print '-' * 30
#############################
text = 'this is a text line'
# splits at space
print(text.split())
# Splitting at ':'
print(text.split(':')) # looks silly, seems useless ... who knows ...
grocery = 'Fruits, Vegies, Meat, Bread'
# splits at ','
print(grocery.split(', '))
# Splitting at ':'
print(grocery.split(':')) # looks silly too.
print '-' * 30
#############################

# maxsplit: 3
print(grocery.rsplit('- ', 3))
print '-' * 30
