[FIXED] How to split a python list based on specific characters like spaces and forward slashes?

Issue

Suppose that you have the python list:

a = ["a", " ", "b", "i", "g", " ", "d", "o", "g", " ", "b", "i", "t", " ", "m", "e"]

Is there a way to split this list such that you get:

a = [["a"],["big"],["dog"],["bit"],["me"]]

or similar?

Solution

Something like this:

>>> a = ["a", " ", "b", "i", "g", " ", "d", "o", "g", " ", "b", "i", "t", " ", "m", "e"]
>>> ''.join(a)
'a big dog bit me'
>>> [[word] for word in ''.join(a).split()]
[['a'], ['big'], ['dog'], ['bit'], ['me']]
