Nir Soffer added the comment:
I did not look into the source, but obviously there is striping of
leading and trailing whitespace.
When you specify a separator you get:
>>> ' '.split(' ')
['', '', '']
>>> ' a b '.split(' ')
['', 'a', 'b', '']
So one would expect to get this without striping:
>>> ' a b '.split()
['', 'a', 'b', '']
But you get this:
>>> ' a b '.split()
['a', 'b']
So the documentation is correct.
