bytearray.split

bytearray — split and join

Split on a separator (whitespace by default).

Syntax

ba.split(...)

You cannot split into individual bytes by passing an empty separator: split(b'') raises ValueError. For per-byte access use slices, or list(ba), which yields integers rather than byte chunks. The pieces in the returned list are independent bytearray copies — mutating them leaves the original object untouched.

Examples

print(bytearray(b'a b').split())   # → [bytearray(b'a'), bytearray(b'b')]
print(bytearray(b'a,b,c').split(b','))   # → [bytearray(b'a'), bytearray(b'b'), bytearray(b'c')]
print(bytearray(b'a,b,c').split(b',', 1))   # → [bytearray(b'a'), bytearray(b'b,c')]
print(len(bytearray(b'  one  two  ').split()))   # → 2
print(bytearray(b'a,,b').split(b','))   # → [bytearray(b'a'), bytearray(b''), bytearray(b'b')]
print(bytearray(b'   ').split())   # → []
