Spliting a python list with two delimeters

Question

I started learning python. I am wondering how to split a list that has two delimiters.

INPUT

1,2,3,4,5;2

My code:

with open(path, 'r') as f:
for fs in f:
    ip= fs.rstrip('\n').split(',')
    print (ip)

My output:

['1', '2', '3', '4', '5;2']

Desired output

['1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '2']

Can i please now how to remove the semicolon in the list.

Thanks

You can translate all the separators to a single one, say with replace or translate:

with

str.replace(old, new[, max])

You could do this:

print str.replace(";", ",")

and then split

Use regex to replace such ; to ,

import re
new_input=re.sub(';',',','1,2,3,4,5;2')
print(new_input.split(','))
