title: How do I convert user input into a list?
body: <p>I'm wondering how to take user input and make a list of every character in it.</p>
  
  <pre><code>magicInput = input('Type here: ')
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And say you entered "python rocks"
  I want a to make it a list something like this</p>
  
  <pre><code>magicList = [p,y,t,h,o,n, ,r,o,c,k,s]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But if I do this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>magicInput = input('Type here: ')
  magicList = [magicInput]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The magicList is just</p>
  
  <pre><code>['python rocks']
  </code></pre>
