Python, how to create a list from a string
Here is how you can create a list from a string in Python.
First you need to decide how to cut the string. For example, every time there is a space.
You pass the ' ' word separator to the split() method that every Python string provides.
Example:
phrase = 'I am going to buy the milk'
words = phrase.split(' ')
print(words)
# ['I', 'am', 'going', 'to', 'buy', 'the', 'milk']
