[Python-Dev] "funny".split("")

Hi Folks,

I'm just translating the Python Pocked Reference the
second time, and I stumbled over this:

   "funny".split("")

gives a ValueError: empty separator.

Why this?
I would expect

   ['f','u','n','n','y']

as result, since this is the maximum result of undoing

   "".join(['f','u','n','n','y'])

For what reason is this asymmetry?
