I tested it and it works fine. Another suggestion is not to test for 
"\x0a" any more to profit from the more elaborated whitespace table for 
usual cases. Here is my modification:

-----------------8<---------------[cut here]
def split(text, delim=None):
     if type(text) is str:
         text = text.decode('utf8')
     if type(delim) is str:
         delim = delim.decode('utf8')
     elif delim is None:
         return [uword.encode('utf8') for uword in _wsc_re_split(text)]
     return [uword.encode('utf8') for uword in text.split(delim)]
-----------------8<---------------[cut here]
