How to change the list separator in python?

Question

I have a list

[u\'Scanned by CamS\\nINCOME TAN DEPARTMENT\\nINDER SINGH\\nAMAR JEETSINGH FIORA\\n2407/1985\\nMimi\\nAAPPF5793,\\nGOVT of INDIA\\n\']

Answer 1

using split on first list item (desired string) :

l = [u'Scanned by CamS\nINCOME TAN DEPARTMENT\nINDER SINGH\nAMAR JEETSINGH FIORA\n2407/1985\nMimi\nAAPPF5793,\nGOVT of INDIA\n']
l =  l[0].split('\n')
l # ['Scanned by CamS', 'INCOME TAN DEPARTMENT', 'INDER SINGH', 'AMAR JEETSINGH FIORA', '2407/1985', 'Mimi', 'AAPPF5793,', 'GOVT of INDIA', '']

last element is empty because of last '\n'
