Strings behave as sequences of characters, so you can just do firstname = 'foo' firstlist = list(firstname) If you just want to iterate over the letters, there is no need to create a separate list, you can iterate over the string directly, e.g. for letter in firstname: print letter Kent _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
