[New-bugs-announce] [issue1125] bytes.split shold have same interface as str.split, or different name

[Nir Soffer]

New submission from Nir Soffer:

>>> b'foo  bar'.split()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: split() takes at least 1 argument (0 given)

>>> b'foo  bar'.split(None)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: expected an object with the buffer interface

str.split and bytes.split should have the same interface, or different 
names.
