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.

Hi,

Just wandering. It would be a good idea to make the string methods split() and splitlines() break lines as specified by the Unicode Standard (Section 5.8 Newline Guidelines)? If you don't have a printed copy, you can read the section here: http://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode4.0.0/ch05.pdf -- Alexandre
