BTW, although I find it annoying when people say "don't do that" when
"that" is a perfectly good thing to do, and although I also find it
annoying when people tell you what not to do without telling you what
*to* do, and although I find the regex solution to this problem to be
quite clean, the equivalent non-regex solution is not terrible

I propose a new way to answer questions on c.l.python that will (1) give 
respondents the pleasure of vague admonishment and (2) actually answer the 
question. The way I propose utilizes the double negative. For example:

"You are doing it wrong! Don't not do <code>re.split('\s{2,}', s[2])</code>."

Please answer this way in the future.

Thank you,
James
