If your tokens are separated by whitespace, you can simply use a single
call to split(). It will turn a single string into a list of tokens.
line = "Now is the time"
print line.split()
will display the list:
['Now', 'is', 'the', 'time']
And if it's not separated by whitespace you can supply the
separator, eg a colon:
line.split(':')
For more sophisticated functionality use the re module or a
specialised parser.
