python split every character in string

def split(word): 
    return [char for char in word]  
      
# Driver code 
word = 'geeks'
print(split(word)) 

#Output ['g', 'e', 'e', 'k', 's']

def split(word): 
    return [char for char in word]

string = '1234567890'
n = 2	# every 2 characters
split_string = [string[i:i+n] for i in range(0, len(string), n)]
# split_string = ['12', '34', '56', '78', '90']

>>> "MATCHES__STRING".split("__")
['MATCHES', 'STRING']

# Python3 - separate each character of non-spaced string

def split(string): 
	return [letter for letter in string] 
	
# Driver code 
string = 'split this string'
print(split(string))
