Hi Folks, I'm just translating the Python Pocked Reference the second time, and I stumbled over this: "funny".split("") gives a ValueError: empty separator. Why this? I would expect ['f','u','n','n','y'] as result, since this is the maximum result of undoing "".join(['f','u','n','n','y']) For what reason is this asymmetry? -- Christian Tismer :^) mailto:tismer@tismer.com Mission Impossible 5oftware : Have a break!
