To python this line has 4 expressions which Pyhon will
assign as a tuple to ch. The first 3 expressions are literal
strings. The fourth is a string which is being split to
form 3 words contained in a list.
So ch winds up containing 3 strings and a list of 3 short
strings.

So it returns a list of strings as you see here.
In other words you don't need the split operation.

No, you are using split wrongly.
