Of course str.split('') could be defined to work the way you expect, but
it's possible that the error is there to prompt the programmer to be
more explicit.
It is even more

Agreed. There are a number of other languages where splitting on an

I have always thought that split and join are opposite functions. For example,
you can use a comma as a delimiter:
>>> myList = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e']
>>> myString = ','.join(myList)
>>> print(myString)
a,b,c,d,e
>>> myList = myString.split(',')
>>> print(myList)
['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e']
