Thanks for detailed issue report. That is definitely bug, @nshafer do you have any pointers for OP?

First, I apologize for not getting back to you.. I've just moved cities and things were really hectic.

So, I just looked into this, and was able to replicate it. With further digging, I've come across the basic problem that Selectize and default Taggit have differing philosophies when it comes to supporting tags separated by either commas or spaces.

Selectize has a default delimiter setting of of a comma, in the delimiter setting. With taggit-selectize, we do not change this setting nor do we expose it to the user through our own settings. I think I'll change this.

Taggit, on the other hand, has a default string-to-tag parser that tries to be intelligent and parse tags separated by spaces if there are no quotes or commas in the string. So the problem here is that according to Selectize, the string "foo bar" is a single tag, so no commas or quotes are necessary. This then gets posted to Taggit, which says, "hey there, no commas, no quotes, this must be a space-separated tag list" and then pulls each word out separately as a distinct tag.

So the good news is that this is fixable, but really only by the user changing Taggit's default configuration.

Taggit has a setting that allows you to override the default tag parser, documented here. Their example creates a super naive parser that causes other problems with how Selectize works, so instead I have adapted a version of their tag parser that will still properly work with quotes and commas, but doesn't ever treat spaces as a separator.

I have included this function in taggit_selectize.utils.parse_tags and updated the README to reflect the extra step of configuring Taggit to use it during installation.

TAGGIT_TAGS_FROM_STRING = 'taggit_selectize.utils.parse_tags'

I am going to make another change or two and have Nar push a new version to PyPi.
