In Python how to convert a string into list

Question

What command in python can be used to make the string ST = “WORK,IS,DONE” a list [“WORK”,”IS”,”DONE”]?

I am trying this but its not working

ST = txt.split(",")

print(ST)

That's the correct function, what do you mean by "it isn't working?" — Libra

I don't know what is txt but if your variable ST holds these words then you should ST.split(',') — AlexDotis

Looks like you have the string defined under ST and not txt, which appears to be the issue.

st = "WORK,IS,DONE"
st = st.split(sep=",")
print(st)
