[Tutor] python 3.3 split method confusion

[Christian Alexander]

Hello fellow tutors,

I am curious to know why the split() method does not output the arbitrary
delimiter that is passed as an argument?  For example:

string1 = "this,is,just,another,string"
print(string1.split(","))

I understand the the above code simply states, "break at every ' , ' ".
 But why is the delimiter not printed as well?
