How to split a string into an array of characters in Python?

Question

I\'ve tried to look around the web for answers to splitting a string into an array of characters but I can\'t seem to find a simple method

str.split(//)

Answer 1

I you just need an array of chars:

arr = list(str)

If you want to split the str by a particular str:

# str = "temp//temps" will will be ['temp', 'temps']
arr = str.split("//")
