Matthew Barnett <[email protected]> added the comment:
I've only just realised that the test cases don't cover all eventualities: none
of them test what happens with multiple spaces _between_ the letters, such as:
' a b c '.split(maxsplit=1) == ['a', 'b c ']
Comparing that with:
' a b c '.split(' ', maxsplit=1)
you see that passing None as the split character does not mean "any whitespace
character". There's clearly a little more to it than that.
