[issue38247] list(str.split(ch)) Does not print blank elements upon repeating character(ch)

[Ammar Askar]

Ammar Askar <ammar at ammaraskar.com> added the comment:

For whitespace, the correct way to achieve this using split() with no argument:

>>> print(list("Hello World How Are You?".split()))
['Hello', 'World', 'How', 'Are', 'You?']
>>> print(list("Hello World       How Are      You?".split()))
['Hello', 'World', 'How', 'Are', 'You?']

Your proposed solution would be a breaking change to all code that relies on the old style.
