That sets pie to a string containing multiple words. > pie.split() This splits pie into individual words, then immediately throws the result away, leaving pie still set to a string. Instead, you want to do this: pie = pie.split() Now pie will be a list of individual words. You can print the entire list: print(pie) or print each word separately: for filling in pie: print(filling) Or pick out one specific filling: print(pie[2]) # should print 'pecan' -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
