[Python-ideas] os.path.split(path, maxsplit=1)

[Ned Batchelder]

Anatoly, I appreciate the energy and dedication you've shown to the 
Python community, but maybe you should spend a little more time on each 
proposal?  For example, the subject line here is a different (and 
already taken) function name than the implementation, and has a maxsplit 
argument that the implementation doesn't have.

Get everything the way you want it, and then propose it.

--Ned.
