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? ---------- nosy: +serhiy.storchaka _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue28937> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
