Question

Let's say I have a string like 'banana' and I'd to convert it into a list ['banana'], in python. I tried ''.join(list('banana')) and other tricks, and I'm still back to square one! Thanks

Why not [mystring]? It uses the list literal to create a list with just the value of mystring inside.

Thanks! I was just being too tired, I guess. Having being working for 8 straight hours. This is probably a proof that I should get some rest now.

Go to sleep bro. Sleep deprivation never made you think clearer. Just makes my name more ironic doesn't it?

Try the following in a python shell:

>>> lst = ["banana"]
>>> type(lst)
<type 'list'>

Then, you can append some other fruits :

>>> lst.append('cherry')
>>> print "\n".join(lst)
banana
cherry
