I'm looking for the Python equivalent of
String str = "many fancy word \nhello \thi";
String whiteSpaceRegex = "\\s";
String[] words = str.split(whiteSpaceRegex);
["many", "fancy", "word", "hello", "hi"]
Answer
The str.split()
method without an argument splits on whitespace:
>>> "many fancy word \nhello \thi".split()
['many', 'fancy', 'word', 'hello', 'hi']
