We can convert a string to a list in Python using the str.split(~) method.

Example

To convert a string to a list using a space as the delimiter (default):

s = "We are SkyTowner"
s.split()
['We', 'are', 'SkyTowner']

We can specify a delimiter to split using other characters:

s1 = "1964-01-02"
s1.split("-")
['1964', '01', '02']
