Python split string that have two delimited -

i want know how split string more 1 delimiter. have problem splitting if 1 space?

i trying read text file has this:

22.0;2016-01-16 00:16:18

i know how read text file variable, when have problem split string can't go further.

all have code:

with open('datasource_3.txt', 'r') f:      data = f.readlines()      line in data:          words = line.strip().split(';')     print words

you can split regular expression ;|, so:

import re  x = '22.0;2016-01-16 00:16:18' print re.split(';| ', x)

this prints ['22.0', '2016-01-16', '00:16:18'].
