title: python split() vs rsplit() performance?
body: <p>I have a string in python. I want to split it with <code>maxsplit = 1</code> on separator which is pretty close to end of the string.</p>
  
  <p>For e.g.</p>
  
  <pre><code>a = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz,1".
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Will <code>a.split(",", 1)</code> be better in terms of performance than <code>a.rsplit(",",1)</code>?</p>
