Use the list() class to split a word into a list of letters, e.g. my_list = list(my_str) . The list() class will convert the string into a list of letters.
To split the elements of a list in Python: Use a list comprehension to iterate over the list. On each iteration, call the split() method to split each string. Return the part of each string you want to keep.
Description. Python string method split() returns a list of all the words in the string, using str as the separator (splits on all whitespace if left unspecified), optionally limiting the number of splits to num.
>>> list("Word to Split")
['W', 'o', 'r', 'd', ' ', 't', 'o', ' ', 'S', 'p', 'l', 'i', 't']
The easiest way is probably just to use list(), but there is at least one other option as well:
s = "Word to Split"
wordlist = list(s) # option 1,
wordlist = [ch for ch in s] # option 2, list comprehension.
They should both give you what you need:
['W','o','r','d',' ','t','o',' ','S','p','l','i','t']
As stated, the first is likely the most preferable for your example but there are use cases that may make the latter quite handy for more complex stuff, such as if you want to apply some arbitrary function to the items, such as with:
[doSomethingWith(ch) for ch in s]
The list function will do this
>>> list('foo')
['f', 'o', 'o']
Abuse of the rules, same result: (x for x in 'Word to split')
Actually an iterator, not a list. But it's likely you won't really care.
text = "just trying out"
word_list = []
for i in range(0, len(text)):
word_list.append(text[i])
i+=1
print(word_list)
['j', 'u', 's', 't', ' ', 't', 'r', 'y', 'i', 'n', 'g', ' ', 'o', 'u', 't']
