Python 2 AttributeError list object has no attribute strip

Question

I have a small problem with list  So i have a list called l   l     Facebook Google  MySpace    Apple Android     And as you can see I have only 2 strings in my list  I want to separate my list l by     and put my new 5 strings into a new list called l1   How can I do that   And also I have tried to do this like this   l1   l strip   split        But Python give me an error   AttributeError   list  object has no attribute  strip    So if  list  object has no attribute  strip  or  split   how can I split a list   Thanks

What you want to do is -   strtemp       join l    The first line adds a   to the end of MySpace so that while splitting  it does not give out MySpaceApple This will join l into one string and then you can just-   l1   strtemp split        This works because strtemp is a string which has  split

strip   is a method for strings  you are calling it on a list  hence the error    gt  gt  gt   strip  in dir str  True  gt  gt  gt   strip  in dir list  False   To do what you want  just do   gt  gt  gt  l     Facebook Google  MySpace    Apple Android    gt  gt  gt  l1    elem strip   split      for elem in l   gt  gt  gt  print l1    Facebook    Google     MySpace      Apple    Android      Since  you want the elements to be in a single list  and not a list of lists   you have two options    Create an empty list and append elements to it  Flatten the list    To do the first  follow the code    gt  gt  gt  l1       gt  gt  gt  for elem in l          l1 extend elem strip   split          gt  gt  gt  l1   Facebook    Google     MySpace    Apple    Android     To do the second  use itertools chain   gt  gt  gt  l1    elem strip   split      for elem in l   gt  gt  gt  print l1    Facebook    Google     MySpace      Apple    Android     gt  gt  gt  from itertools import chain  gt  gt  gt  list chain  l1     Facebook    Google     MySpace    Apple    Android

Split the strings and then use chain from iterable to combine them into a single list   gt  gt  gt  import itertools  gt  gt  gt  l     Facebook Google  MySpace    Apple Android    gt  gt  gt  l1     x for x in itertools chain from iterable  x split      for x in l      gt  gt  gt  l1   Facebook    Google     MySpace    Apple    Android

You can first concatenate the strings in the list with the separator     using the function join and then use the split function in order create the list   l     Facebook Google  MySpace    Apple Android    l1       join l   split         print l1   outputs        Facebook    Google     MySpace    Apple    Android

One possible solution I have tried right now is   Make sure do it in general way using for  while with index    gt  gt  gt  l   Facebook Google  MySpace    Apple Android    gt  gt  gt  new1   l 0  split       gt  gt  gt  new1   Facebook    Google     MySpace    gt  gt  gt  new2  l 1  split      enter code here   gt  gt  gt  new2   Apple    Android    gt  gt  gt  totalnew   new1   new2  gt  gt  gt  totalnew   Facebook    Google     MySpace    Apple    Android
