Using Python 2.7.3.1

I don't understand what the problem is with my coding! I get this error: AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'split

This is my code:

myList = ['hello']myList.split()

You can simply do list(myList[0]) as below:

>>> myList = ['hello']
>>> myList=list(myList[0])
>>> myList
['h', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o']
