x = "Four score  and seven"
x.split() => ["Four", "score", "and", "seven"] 
x.split(" ") => ["Four", "score", " ", "and", "seven"] 

Probably not a big deal but it seems that it should be consistent. One
of my students spotted it.

This is the intended behaviour.  See 
http://www.python.org/doc/2.5.2/lib/string-methods.html for details.
