# Split a string into a list of space/tab-separated words
# NB: split(s) is NOT the same as splitfields(s, ' ')!
def split(s, sep=None, maxsplit=0):
- """split(str [,sep [,maxsplit]]) -> list of strings
+ """split(s [,sep [,maxsplit]]) -> list of strings
Return a list of the words in the string s, using sep as the
delimiter string. If maxsplit is nonzero, splits into at most
- maxsplit words If sep is not specified, any whitespace string
+ maxsplit words. If sep is not specified, any whitespace string
is a separator. Maxsplit defaults to 0.
(split and splitfields are synonymous)
