To convert a string to a list in Python:
my_list = my_string.split("separated_by")For example, if your string is separated by spaces, then apply this syntax to convert the string with the spaces into a list (notice that a space was applied inside the brackets of the “split”):
my_string = "aa bb cc dd ee"
my_list = my_string.split(" ")
print(my_list)
The result:
['aa', 'bb', 'cc', 'dd', 'ee']Alternatively, if your string is separated by commas, then apply the script below to convert the string with the commas into a list (notice that a comma was specified inside the brackets of the split):
my_string = "aa,bb,cc,dd,ee"
my_list = my_string.split(",")
print(my_list)
The result:
['aa', 'bb', 'cc', 'dd', 'ee']Depending on your needs, you may specify a different separator inside the brackets of the split.
