String to list in Python -

Hi, I am very new to programming and I'm trying to split a string:

 
  ['QH', 'QD', 'Jesse', '' QH QDJC, KDJ ''   
 KD ',' js']   
 I have tried to divide but it did not seem to work. How would I go about doing this?  
 Thanks   
 
 
  & gt; & Gt; & Gt; 'QH QD jc kd js' split () ['qh', 'qd', 'jc', 'kd', 'js']   
:  
 
 Return a list of words in the string using the  sep  as the delimiter string. If  maxsplit  is given, the maximum  maximum split  is partitioned (thus, the list will have a maximum of  maxsplit + 1  element). If  maxsplit  is not specified, there is no limit on the number of partitions (all possible partitions are created).  
 If given  sep , the constant delimiters are not grouped together and are considered to be delimited empty strings (for example,  ' 1, 2'split (',')  return  ['1', '', 2 '] ). Argument can have multiple characters (for example,  '1 <2> <2> <3> (' <'> & gt; ')  return  [' 1 ',' 2 ',' 3 '] ). Splits an empty string with a specified separator  [']] .  
 If  sep  is not specified or  none , a separate partition algorithm is applied: continuously run white space as a separator As a result, there is no empty string on the beginning or interval of the string in the result as a result, an empty string or a string in which a  any  separator returns  [] . For example,  '1 2 3' .split ()  returns  ['1', '2', '3'] , and  '1 2 3' .split (None, 1)  returns  ['1', '2 3'] .
