Python remove from beginning to first specific character in a string? : <p>Assuming I have the following string:</p>

<pre><code>this is ;a cool test
</code></pre>

<p>How can I remove everything from the start up to the first time a <code>;</code> occurs?
The expected output would be <code>a cool test</code>.</p>

<p>I only know how to remove a fixed amount of characters using the bracket notation, which is not helpful here because the location of the <code>;</code> is not fixed.</p>
