[Python-3000] Lines breaking

[Guido van Rossum]

Can you or someone supply a patch? Put it in the SourceForge patch
manager and post here.

OTOH I don't believe that's how 2.x implements these methods, and
AFAIK nobody's complained. Is in necessary to change? At the very
least I'd be opposed if it changed the behavior of splitting
ASCII-only text.
