[New-bugs-announce] [issue6537] string.split shouldn't split on non-breaking spaces

[Eric Promislow]

New submission from Eric Promislow <ericp at activestate.com>:

ActivePython 2.6.1.1 ...
>>> a = u"abc\x0adef"
>>> a.split()
[u'abc', u'def']
>>>

"\x0a" is a non-breaking space. This behavior means we can't
easily use split() to reflow text.
