PYTHON Split String at space but keep the spaces

Question

I have a string

a = bla bla bla bla

v = re.split("\[(.*?)\]@", a)

I get:

v =['bla', 'bla', 'bla', 'bla']

I want:

v =['bla', ' ', 'bla', ' ', 'bla', ' ', 'bla']

I found this as possible solution but dont know how to apply it:

return a[::2]

Any ideas? Thanks

I wonder why you need it, but it can be done like so

import re
a = 'bla bla bla bla'
temp = re.sub(' ','\t \t',a)
result = temp.split('\t')
