What characters are included as whitespace characters? Spaces?
Tabs?
Newlines? For some reason, I was reading whitespace as just spaces.
"whitespace
A string containing all characters that are considered
whitespace. On most systems this includes the characters space, tab,
linefeed, return, formfeed, and vertical tab. Do not change its
definition -- the effect on the routines strip() and split() is
undefined."
import string
for c in string.whitespace:
... print repr(c)
...
'\t'
'\n'
'\x0b'
'\x0c'
'\r'
' '
