Getting a number out of a string

[ssmith579]

I'm trying to extract single digit number from a string.

t[1] = '06897'

I want to get the 7, 9,8 & 6 seperated out to use but can't find a way
to split out the single characters.

Thanks

You can index into a string:

s = '06897'
s[2]

'8'

You can also turn each character into an integer, in various ways:

[int(c) for c in s] [0, 6, 8, 9, 7]
map(int, s)

[0, 6, 8, 9, 7]

what about:

lst = [digit for digit in '06897']
lst

['0', '6', '8', '9', '7']
Or..

['0', '6', '8', '9', '7']

No need to use a list comprehension when this works just as well:

py> list('06897')
['0', '6', '8', '9', '7']
