Convert string to char array

[Brandon]

How do I convert a string to a char array? I am doing this so I can edit
the string received from an sql query so I can remove unnecessary
characters.

The precise answer is:

>>s = 'abcdefghi'
>>l = list(s)
>>l

['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g', 'h', 'i']

>>>

But quite often you can just to the replace without doing the conversion

>>s = 'abc,de,fghi'
>>s2 = s.replace(',',' ')
>>s2 = s.replace(',',' ')

'abcdefghi'

>>>

Answering your specific question:

Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Mar 31 2008, 11:09:52)
[GCC 3.4.6 20060404 (Red Hat 3.4.6-9)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright" , "credits" or "license" for more information.

>>s = 'hello'
>>l = list(s)
>>l

['h', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o']

>>>

But more generally, you might want to read up on the string methods
available to you, such as replace():
