Example 1

 # Python program explaining
 # the string. splitlines() method
 # initializing the string for \n and \r
 language = "Java\n C#\r Ruby\n Python\r C"
 # spliting the lines at line boundaries.
 print(language.splitlines())
 print(language.splitlines(True))
 # spliting the lines at line boundaries.
 language = "Java, C#, Ruby, Python, C"
 print(language.splitlines()) 

Output

 ['Java', ' C#', ' Ruby', ' Python', ' C']
 ['Java\n', ' C#\r', ' Ruby\n', ' Python\r', ' C']
 ['Java, C#, Ruby, Python, C'] 

Example 2

 # Python program explaining
 # the string.splitlines() method
 # initializing the string for \n and \r
 fruits = "Apple\nRuby\nPython\nC"
 # no parameters has been passed 
 # spliting the lines with whitespaces(\n)
 print(fruits.splitlines())
 # including the line breaks(\n)
 print(fruits.splitlines(True)) 

Output

['Apple', 'Ruby', 'Python', 'C']
['Apple\n', 'Ruby\n', 'Python\n', 'C']
