Oh, that's right, I remember now. I thought that's what I had been using
but obviously not.
os.sep it is
I don't use it very often as most of the file paths I deal with are
assmbled via environment variables and/or taken from a mini-database
setup that describes my generic file structure

Yup, what Nathan said. Do you use os.path.split() much, Frank? I've
always thought it was a bit weird. Would be a lot more intuitive if
that returned the same thing as os.sep.split(mystring) which I find
myself doing a heck of a lot more often. If I explicitly want the
basename or dirname, I use os.path.basename() or os.path.dirname(). -Ean

Unfortunately os.path.split only splits once, at the
last-occurring instance of os.sep.

check out os.path.split as well

There are a couple things you need to be aware of.
First, your string includes the ASCII control character \r. You
either need to escape your backslashes by doubling them up or use
a raw string:
"C:\\workFolder\\shots\\renderFolder"
# or
r"C:\workFolder\shots\renderFolder"
Now, the reason you're hitting a SyntaxError is because your
split string is an unescaped backslash, which makes Python think
you're trying to escape a single quote inside a single-quoted
string and then failing to complete the string with another
single quote. Escaping your backslash will work, but a safer bet
is to use os.sep.
import os
r"C:\workFolder\shots\renderFolder".split(os.sep)

Thanks! Now I get it. Does split only work on a list? I am
getting an error trying to use split on a string. There's
something about this that isn't clicking for me.
wPath = "C:\workFolder\shots\renderFolder"
wPath.split('\')[:4]
SyntaxError: EOL while scanning string literal
