How can I convert a string to a list in Python?

How can I convert a string to a list in Python?

You can use the split() method to convert a string into a list. For example, my_string.split(',') will split the string at each comma.

What if I want to split the string by spaces instead?

You can simply call my_string.split() without any arguments, which will split the string by whitespace.

Can I convert a string with a specific delimiter?

Yes, you can specify any delimiter in the split() method. For example, my_string.split(';') will split the string at each semicolon.

What if the string has leading or trailing spaces?

The split() method will handle that by default, but you can also use strip() to remove leading and trailing spaces before splitting.
