split in python without using comma [CLOSED]

Question

How can I use the '.split()' method (am I right in calling it a method?) without instead of writing each comma between words in the pie list in the following code? Also, is there a way to use .split instead of typing the apostrophes?

import random
pie=['keylime', 'peach', 'apple', 'cherry', 'pecan']
print(random.choice(pie))

Answer 1

I think you are referring to this:

 pie = 'keylime peach apple cherry pecan'.split()

While it's easier to type, and does save a few characters, I think the original list is clearer to a reader of your program.
