Why do you think this is a bug?  It's *generally* true that 
embedded whitespace isn't accepeted in numeric literals:

>>> int("2 3")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
ValueError: invalid literal for int(): 2 3
>>> import string
>>> string.atof("- 2")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "C:\Code\python\lib\string.py", line 201, in atof
    return _float(s)
ValueError: invalid literal for float(): - 2
>>>
