python find substrings based on a delimiter

Question

I am new to Python, so I might be missing something simple.

I am given an example:

 string = \"The , world , is , a , happy , place \" 

Answer 1

Simple thanks to the convenient string methods in Python:

print "\n".join(token.strip() for token in string.split(","))

Output:

The
world
is
a
happy
place

By the way, the word string is a bad choice for variable name (there is an string module in Python).
