Extended Description

splitlines is a Python string method that splits string on line boundaries into a list of lines. Belongs to string partitioning family with split and rsplit, but specializes in line-based splitting. Works with strip for clean text processing and join for line reconstruction. Handles universal line endings (

, ). Optional keepends parameter preserves line terminators. Especially useful for processing text files, log parsing, and multiline string manipulation. Common in file I/O operations, text processing, and line-by-line analysis. Returns list of lines maintaining source format.
