# numpy.char.partition

char.partition(a, sep)

  Partition each element in a around sep.

  Calls `str.partition` element-wise.

  For each element in a, split the element as the first 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, {str, unicode}

      Input array

  Returns
    out ndarray, {str, unicode}

      Output array of str or unicode, depending on input type. The output array will have an extra dimension with 3 elements per input element.
