The following example is wrong:
https://docs.python.org/3.4/library/stdtypes.html?highlight=split#str.split

>>> '1,2,3'.split(',', maxsplit=1)
['1', '2 3']

Is actually returning (note the missing , ):
>>> '1,2,3'.split(',', maxsplit=1)
['1', '2,3']

[raulcd]

As it is a simple one I will try to submit a patch today or tomorrow. This will be my first contribution to Python.

It was also incorrect on the example for bytes split:
>>> b'1,2,3'.split(b',', maxsplit=1)
      [b'1', b'2 3']

Patch submitted.

LGTM. About a straightforward as it gets.
