[Bf-python] OBJ import (another bug?)

[Campbell Barton]

Hi, sure I could do this manually- but manual python workarounds 
shouldent be needed.

We should wither report this as a bug to the python people or make some 
solution our self- The whole point of a language like python is that it 
does this kinda stuff for you- If parts of it dont work then they should 
be fixed.

Splitting by words stuffs things up for the obj format and splitting 
manually is slow, mabe this bug should be reported to the python people?-
