[Tutor] string fomatting

here's another solution that takes advantage of the 'maxsplit'
parameter of the str.split() method... it requires more stitching to
get the final output(s):

>>> url = 'https://www.localhost.org/testmodule/dev/trunk/admin/sql/mytest.sql'
>>> parts = url.split('/', 4)
>>> print '%s//%s/' % (parts[0], parts[2])
https://www.localhost.org/
>>> print parts[3]
testmodule
>>> print '/%s' % parts[4]
/dev/trunk/admin/sql/mytest.sql
