Check out (and Pythonify) the ANSI M[UMPS] $PIECE(). See: http://www.jacquardsystems.com/Examples/function/piece.htm
As far as I can see, either you misunderstand what partition() does, or I'm completely misunderstanding what $PIECE does. As far as I can tell, $PIECE and partition() have absolutely nothing in common except that they take strings as arguments. :)
both split on a given token. partition splits once, and returns all three parts, while piece returns the part you ask for (the 3-argument form is similar to x.split(s)[i]) </F>
