How can I split by 1 or more occurrences of a delimiter in Python?
Just this should work:
a.split()Example:
>>> 'a b'.split(' ')['a', '', '', '', '', '', 'b']>>> 'a b'.split()['a', 'b']From the documentation:
If sep is not specified or is None, a different splitting algorithm is applied: runs of consecutive whitespace are regarded as a single separator, and the result will contain no empty strings at the start or end if the string has leading or trailing whitespace. Consequently, splitting an empty string or a string consisting of just whitespace with a None separator returns [].
