Matthew Barnett <pyt...@mrabarnett.plus.com> added the comment:
The case:
' a b c '.split(maxsplit=1) == ['a', 'b c ']
suggests that empty strings don't count towards maxsplit, otherwise it would
return [' a b c '] (i.e. the split would give ['', ' a b c '] and dropping
the empty strings would give [' a b c ']).
