Python String partition() Method

The Python string partition() method is used to split a string into three parts based on the first occurrence of a specified separator. It returns a tuple containing three elements: the part of the string before the separator, the separator itself, and the part of the string after the separator.

If the separator is not found in the string, the entire string is returned as the first element of the tuple, followed by two empty strings.

Following is the basic syntax of the Python String partition() method −

string.partition(separator)

This method accepts a separator string as a parameter that specifies where to perform the split.

The method returns a tuple containing three elements: the part of the string before the first occurrence of the separator, the separator itself, and the part of the string after the first occurrence of the separator.

In the following example, we are splitting the string "text" at the first occurrence of the space "  " character using the partition() method −

text = "hello world"
result = text.partition(' ')
print(result)   

The output obtained is as follows −

('hello', ' ', 'world')

This example shows that if the separator is not found in the string, the entire string is returned as the first element of the tuple, and the other two elements are empty strings −

text = "hello"
result = text.partition(',')
print(result)       

Following is the output of the above code −

('hello', '', '')

Here, we split the string "text" at the first occurrence of the space character ' '. Since there are multiple space characters, only the first one is used as the separator −

text = "apple banana orange"
result = text.partition(' ')
print(result)    

The result produced is as shown below −

('apple', ' ', 'banana orange')

Now, we are splitting the string "text" at the first occurrence of the newline character "\n" −

text = "Tutorials\nPoint\nEdTech"
result = text.partition('\n')
print(result) 

We get the output as shown below −

('Tutorials', '\n', 'Point\nEdTech')
