using more than one linestyle in the same trend line with matplotlib

I want to plot a line using the bold linestyle='k-' and after a certain value on the axes, I want the same line as dashed ('k--') or vice-versa. I want to show the dashed part as an extension to the bold line. One way to do this is to treat them as two individual plots and use different linestyles. I have attached the figure of an example. Just wondering if there was any other way to do this! enter image description here

Yes it can be done. Following the suggestion given by @tom, one such example is:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

x = np.linspace(1,2,10)
y = np.linspace(1,2,10)

plt.plot(x[:4],y[:4],'-ko',x[3:],y[3:],'--ko')
plt.show()

This produces a plot: enter image description here
