The easiest way is probably just to use list    but there is at least one other option as well   s    Word to Split  wordlist   list s                  option 1   wordlist    ch for ch in s         option 2  list comprehension    They should both give you what you need     W   o   r   d       t   o       S   p   l   i   t     As stated  the first is likely the most preferable for your example but there are use cases that may make the latter quite handy for more complex stuff  such as if you want to apply some arbitrary function to the items  such as with    doSomethingWith ch  for ch in s
