converting a string to a list python code example

Example 1: convert string to list python

# To split the string at every character use the list() function
word = 'abc'
L = list(word)
L
# Output:
# ['a', 'b', 'c']

# To split the string at a specific character use the split() function
word = 'a,b,c'
L = word.split(',')
L
# Output:
# ['a', 'b', 'c']

Example 2: python string to tuple

l = list('abcd')  	        # ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd']
l = map(None, 'abcd')       # ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd']
l = [i for i in 'abcd']	    # ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd']

import re               # importing regular expression module
l = re.findall('.', 'abcd')
print(l)                	# ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd']
