Splitting a Column to Multiple Columns

Suppose we have a dataframe with county names and geolocation as follows:

import pandas as pd

sample_df = pd.DataFrame({ 'County': ['Hancock', 'Stafford', 'Webster'],
                           'GeoLocation' : ['41.001938375,-83.6665354077', 
                                            '38.4207190191,-77.4574003866',
                                            '40.1764332141,-98.4999473753']})

sample_df

	County	GeoLocation
0	Hancock	41.001938375,-83.6665354077
1	Stafford	38.4207190191,-77.4574003866
2	Webster	40.1764332141,-98.4999473753

We split the column GeoLocation into multiple using the following operation:

sample_df[['Lat', 'Long']] = sample_df.GeoLocation.str.split(',', n=2, expand=True)
sample_df

	County	GeoLocation	Lat	Long
0	Hancock	41.001938375,-83.6665354077	41.001938375	-83.6665354077
1	Stafford	38.4207190191,-77.4574003866	38.4207190191	-77.4574003866
2	Webster	40.1764332141,-98.4999473753	40.1764332141	-98.4999473753
