Hi,

>How can I use the '.split()' method (am I right in calling it a method?)

The .split() is a method in Python which comes as in built method for
String objects in Python. Any string defined in python will have the
ability to call this function.

>>> var = 'Hello how r u?'
>>> dir(var)
['__add__', '__class__', '__contains__', '__delattr__', '__doc__',
'__eq__', '__ge__', '__getattribute__', '__getitem__', '__getnewargs__',
'__getslice__', '__gt__', '__hash__', '__init__', '__le__', '__len__',
'__lt__', '__mod__', '__mul__', '__ne__', '__new__', '__reduce__',
'__reduce_ex__', '__repr__', '__rmod__', '__rmul__', '__setattr__',
'__str__', 'capitalize', 'center', 'count', 'decode', 'encode', 'endswith',
'expandtabs', 'find', 'index', 'isalnum', 'isalpha', 'isdigit', 'islower',
'isspace', 'istitle', 'isupper', 'join', 'ljust', 'lower', 'lstrip',
'replace', 'rfind', 'rindex', 'rjust', 'rsplit', 'rstrip', 'split',
'splitlines', 'startswith', 'strip', 'swapcase', 'title', 'translate',
'upper', 'zfill']
>>> var.split()
['Hello', 'how', 'r', 'u?']
>>>

Thank you.

>print(random.choice(pie))

If you are talking about having predefined list pie with limited elements
like above it is ok to code them straightaway with apostrophes and others
will know that it is a predefined list.

Suppose if the elements in list come as a line in a file or is a string, it
will be better to use split() method and form a list. I hope Gary has
provided the example for the same.

pie = 'keylime peach apple cherry pecan'.split()

I hope this clarifies your doubt.

Regards,
Krishnan
