[Tutor] Whitespace

ASPN : Python Cookbook : Reversing a String by Words or Characters

This includes examples for splitting strings.  The regular expression 
split at the end may be close to what you actually want.  I assume you 
are really trying to "tokenize" a line of text.

There is a tokenize module included with Python.
