> suggests that empty strings don't count towards maxsplit Thank you for the confirmation. Although just to clarify I guess you really mean "empty strings *that are dropped from the output* don't count towards maxsplit". Just to double check this, what do we expect the output of ' x y z'.split(maxsplit=1, keepempty=True) to be? I think it should be ['', ' x y z'] since in this case we are retaining empty strings and they should count towards the maxsplit. (In the current patch this crashes with a core dump since it tries to write to unallocated memory) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue28937> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
