Use re.split with the delimiter [\t ]+:

string = "\t Hello   World\t"
parts = re.split(r'[\t ]+', string.strip())
print(parts)

This prints:

['Hello', 'World']

Note that I strip the leading and trailing whitespace before calling re.split. Also, if you would accept just splitting on any whitespace, we could have used re.split(r'\s+', string.strip()) instead.
