Python lists cannot be divided into separate lists based on characters that appear in the values of a list. This is unlike strings which values can be separated into a list. The AttributeError is an exception thrown when an object does not have the attribute you tried to access. The ‘list’ object has no attribute ‘split’ and you’re trying to call python split() function on the whole list of lines, and you can’t split a list of strings, only a string. So, you need to split each line, not the whole thing.
To solve the above problem, you need to iterate over the strings in the list to get individual strings; then, you can call the split() function.
