Steven D'Aprano <steve+pyt...@pearwood.info> added the comment:

Attached is a script I used to test:

* that str.isspace() currently matches the definition given in the docs;

* that string.whitespace contains all whitespace characters, and nothing but 
whitespace;

* that str.strip() strips off all whitespace characters, and nothing but 
whitespace;

* that str.split() splits on all whitespace characters, and nothing but 
whitespace.

I haven't tested the .lstrip rstrip rsplit methods because I'm lazy :-)

The only test that fails is that the string.whitespace is missing some 
whitespace.

Again, because I'm lazy, I haven't written this as proper unit tests. Besides, 
it's quite likely all these things are already in the official test suite. (If 
not, I might re-write the missing parts as unit tests and submit a PR.)
