`numpy.core.defchararray.``rpartition`(a, sep)

  Partition (split) each element around the right-most separator.

  Calls str.rpartition element-wise.

  For each element in a, split the element as the last occurrence of sep, and return 3 strings containing the part before the separator, the separator itself, and the part after the separator. If the separator is not found, return 3 strings containing the string itself, followed by two empty strings.

  Parameters: | a : array_like of str or unicode Input array sep : str or unicode Right-most separator to split each element in array.
  Returns: | out : ndarray Output array of string or unicode, depending on input type. The output array will have an extra dimension with 3 elements per input element.
