For whitespace, the correct way to achieve this using split() with no argument: >>> print(list("Hello World How Are You?".split())) ['Hello', 'World', 'How', 'Are', 'You?'] >>> print(list("Hello World How Are You?".split())) ['Hello', 'World', 'How', 'Are', 'You?'] Your proposed solution would be a breaking change to all code that relies on the old style. ---------- nosy: +ammar2 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue38247> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
