str.split() doesn't seem to respect non-breaking space:
Python 3.4.2 (default, Oct 8 2014, 10:45:20)
[GCC 4.9.1] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> print(repr("hello\N{NO-BREAK SPACE}world".split()))
['hello', 'world']
What's the purpose of a non-breaking space if it's treated like a
space for breaking/splitting purposes? :-)
Is this a bug?
