[python] Splitting a string

Question

Hi, I am bit new to python.
I want to split a string something like this:

x='print "Thank you"'
#Some code

The output should be:
['print', '"Thank you"']

as you can see it did not split Thank you inside " "
How can I do that??
And Thanks is advance.

You have to define your own text analyzer. lesson:

Solution:
 def splitText(txt):
    wordList = ['']
    wordCount = 0
    for i in range(len(txt)):
       if txt[i]==' ' or txt[i]=='"':
          wordCount += 1
          wordList.append('')
       else:
          wordList[wordCount]+=txt[i]
    return wordList

print(*splitText(x))

You can add more filter criteria in the if statement.😎
