Possibly for consistency with other languages.  Here's what Python 3 does:

import sys
import unicodedata

for codepoint in range(sys.maxunicode + 1):
    c = chr(codepoint)
    if c.strip() == "":
        name = unicodedata.name(c, "U+{:04X}".format(codepoint))
        print("Python 3 trims {} ({})".format(name, unicodedata.category(c)))
