Terry J. Reedy <[email protected]> added the comment:
I am inclined to -1 also.
a. The proposed behavior is anti-obvious to me: the higher the height, the
shorter the result. Calling param 'drop' would be better.
b. Not every one-liner should be wrapped.
>>> path.rsplit('/',0)[0]
'/ggparent/gparent/parent/myfile.txt'
>>> path.rsplit('/',1)[0]
'/ggparent/gparent/parent'
>>> path.rsplit('/',2)[0]
'/ggparent/gparent'
>>> path.rsplit('/',3)[0]
'/ggparent'
Note: above gives '' for maxsplit out of range, easily converted to exception
in function wrapper.
