Content
I've only just realised that the test cases don't cover all eventualities: none of them test what happens with multiple spaces _between_ the letters, such as: ' a b c '.split(maxsplit=1) == ['a', 'b c '] Comparing that with: ' a b c '.split(' ', maxsplit=1) you see that passing None as the split character does not mean "any whitespace character". There's clearly a little more to it than that.
