Split()'ing dilemma :))

Which one would you do? (In Python, of course ...:))

(1) 'jan,feb,mar,apr,may,jun'.split(',')

(2) str.split('jan,feb,mar,apr,may,jun', ',')

Both work. 

However, in terms of syntax bulkiness, readability, future extensible, etc.

Say you have a dictionary of "fixed strings"; such as month or US state initial names (AZ, CA, ...,TX, ...)

Would you go with option (2) or (1)??
