Python: split: Convert comma separated string to a list

Using string ‘split’ method, we can convert a comma separated string to list.

Signature

str.split(sep=None, maxsplit=-1)

‘split’ method return a list of the words in the string, using sep as the delimiter string. If maxsplit is given, at most maxsplit splits are done. If maxsplit is not specified or -1, then there is no limit on the number of splits

 

Example

list_of_strs = str.split(',')

convert_string_to_list_of_tokens.py

str = "Ram,Rahim,Robert"
list_of_strs = str.split(',')

print('str -> ', str)
print('list_of_strs -> ', list_of_strs)

Output

str ->  Ram,Rahim,Robert
list_of_strs ->  ['Ram', 'Rahim', 'Robert']
