Splitting a string into a list in python

I’d like to take user input and break it apart character by character. Basically I have this

string = raw_input("String: ")
print string

Now I want to split each of these letters and put them into a list. So lets say I input hello, I get a list like ['h', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o']

Answer 1

Just convert this string to a list. It is already an iterable sequence of individual characters so the conversion is automatic.

string = raw_input("String: ")
print(list(string))
