This is kind of a theoretical question. I.E. I am looking for a keyword to do research on. Consider the following string:
'3:2,6:2,4:3,5:0|age50height63nametimvalue' If the string above is split on the first occurance of '|', the result is a 'leftmost' component which can be decomposed into a nested list of integers which can then be used to parse the 'rightmost' string into a dictionary. What would be a generic term or a pythonist term for such a string?
