Ezio Melotti <ezio.melo...@gmail.com> added the comment: Both on Linux and Windows I get: >>> '\xa0'.isspace() False >>> u'\xa0'.isspace() True
The Unicode char u'\xa0' is U+00A0 NO-BREAK SPACE, so unicode.split correctly considers it a whitespace. However '\xa0' is not a whitespace, so str.split ignores it. The correct solution is to convert your string to Unicode and then split. I'd close this as invalid but I'd like you to confirm that the example I posted and that 'split' return the same result on both Linux and Windows before doing so (the fact that on Linux works it's probably caused by something else -- e.g. the label is already Unicode). ---------- nosy: +ezio.melotti resolution: -> invalid status: open -> pending _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8859> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
