Place a piece of a split on another line in Python?

Question

I can't find a good example of the following in my textbook:

name = (input("Enter name(First Last:"))
last = name.split()

From here, I want to input the last name into another string.

How can I accomplish this task?

full_name = input("Enter name (First Last):")
first_name, last_name = full_name.split()
print(first_name)
print(last_name)

Split will return 2 strings here because full_name contains only one space between first and last name

What if i want to print a word in the same situation except without the last character? – Russ Brimhall Oct 12 '18 at 19:29
You should use slices in this case: `print(first_name[:-1])` and `print(last_name[:-1])`. – ingvar Oct 12 '18 at 19:30
how do you insert a slice into the middle of a print string, also how do you print an street address without the numbers. all within the same situation? – Russ Brimhall Oct 12 '18 at 19:53

After looking a little harder I figured out how input a variable into the middle of a string.

Here is the answer for i found for removing numbers from a string and inserting it to another string

    <var0> = ''.join([i for i in <var1> if not i.isdigit()])

var0 = the string minus the numbers var1 = the initial string to be changed
