>>> x = 'abc' >>> list(x) ['a', 'b', 'c'] Not sure what you are trying to do, but you can access individual characters from a string itself:
>>> x = 'abc' >>> x[1] 'b' If you need to iterate over the string you do not even need to convert it to a list:
>>> n = 'abc' >>> for i in n: ... print i ... a b c or
>>> n[1] 'b' yourstring = 'abc' [char for char in yourstring]
