Split a string into text and integer

Question

I have a string of the form

" This year is 2014"

I would like to split the string into two parts

part1="This year is"
part2="2014"

What is your question? How to do that? – Josh Braun Apr 11 '14 at 14:55 — Josh Braun, Apr 11 '14 at 14:55

Split on whitespace followed by a digit, like this:

>>> part1, part2 = re.split(r'\s(?=\d)', " This year is 2014", 1)
>>> part1, part2
(' This year is', '2014')
