Function Details: rsplit

Description

Returns a list of the words in the string, using sep as the delimiter string.

Extended Description

rsplit is a Python string method that splits string into list of substrings from right to left. Belongs to string partitioning family with split and rpartition, offering right-side directionality. Works with strip for clean text processing and join for string reconstruction. Without arguments, splits on whitespace like split. Optional maxsplit parameter is particularly useful for right-side limited splits, making it ideal for parsing file paths, URLs, or nested identifiers. Returns list of split strings in original order. Essential for right-to-left text processing workflows.
