A bug about unicode string in Python 2.4?

[Thomas Moore]

Hi:

Python 2.4.1 (#65, Mar 30 2005, 09:13:57) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on
win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

u=u'\u9019\u662f\u4e2d\u6587\u5b57\u4e32'
u.split() [u'\u9019\u662f\u4e2d\u6587\u5b57\u4e32']

I think u should get split.
