How to Convert a String into List in Python

A String can be converted into list using the split() method.

Syntax: string.split(delimiter)

The split method is used to split the strings and store them in the list. It returns a list of the words in the string, with the ‘delimiter’ provided as the delimiter string.  If the delimiter is not specified or is None, consecutive whitespace is regarded as a single separator, and the result will contain no empty strings at the start or end of the string has leading or trailing whitespace.

string_1 = "Python Point"
print(string_1.split(" "))

string_2 = "Python-Point"
print(string_2.split("-"))

string_3 = "Python Point is great"
print(string_3.split())

Output:

['Python', 'Point']
['Python', 'Point']
['Python', 'Point', 'is', 'great']
