\begin{funcdesc}{rsplit}{s\optional{, sep\optional{, maxsplit}}}
- Return a list of the words of the string \var{s}, scanning \var{s} from
- the end working forward. The resulting list of words is in the same
- order as \function{split()}. If the optional second argument \var{sep}
- is absent or \code{None}, the words are separated by arbitrary strings
- of whitespace characters (space, tab, newline, return, formfeed).
- If the second argument \var{sep} is present and not \code{None}, it
- specifies a string to be used as the word separator. The returned
- list will then have one more item than the number of non-overlapping
- occurrences of the separator in the string. The optional third argument
- \var{maxsplit} defaults to 0. If it is nonzero, at most \var{maxsplit}
- number of splits occur, and the remainder of the string is returned
- as the first element of the list (thus, the list will have at most
- \code{\var{maxsplit}+1} elements).
