string.split error? python

Question

a = string.split("Test Test2 Test3"," ")

This returns an error:

Message File Name   Line    Position    
Traceback               
    <module>    C:\pyWiz.py 43      
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'split'                

Yes, I imported the string module. Why is this happening?

Answer 1

Use:

a = 'Test Test2 Test3'.split(' ')

(i.e. split method of str type). string.split is deprecated in 2.x and gone in 3.x.
