Serhiy Storchaka added the comment:

Current behavior is consistent with str.count():

    len(string.split(sep)) == string.count(sep) + 1

and re.split():

    re.split(re.escape(sep), string) == string.split(sep)

May be the behavior when sep is None should be changed for consistency with the 
behavior when sep is not None?
