title: Split string by a string token instead of a char token in Python
body: <p>I've a string like:</p>
  
  <p><code>10-24-2017 10:09:18.218 - my_test - INFO - My Automation version 0.0.1</code></p>
  
  <p>And I wish to split the string by the token <code>" - "</code> (Note the leading and lagging white-spaces). IOW, the above string should be split as:</p>
  
  <p><code>{'10-24-2017 10:09:18.218', 'my_test', 'INFO', 'My Automation version 0.0.1'}</code></p>
  
  <p>If I just split by '-', then the date string will also be split which I don't wish to do. Can someone point me in the right direction?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
