-1. I see no compelling reason to overload __getitem__ to provide a synonym for
the split method.
eggs = "wiki." + spam.split('.')[1:]
Besides, you can already make such replacements more efficiently with
eggs = spam.replace('docs', 'wiki')
or, for more complex replacements,
eggs = re.sub('^docs', 'wiki', spam)
