string.split("") ==> []
string.split("",",") ==> ['']
I did not expect these to have different outputs.
I have a string with comma delimited numbers.
There can be zero or more numbers in the string
s = "0x41, 0x42"
I wanted to do
numbers = map(lambda x: int(x,16), string.split(s,","))
However, when there are no numbers, this generates an error.
