Strings for a newbie

[Malcolm Wooden]

my actual code is:

  for x in range(len(l)):
    h = string.split(l[x])

where the sentence string is in an array of one element 'l'
Error is:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 34, in ?
  File "<string>", line 27, in SentenceText
  File "C:\PYTHON22\lib\string.py", line 122, in split
    return s.split(sep, maxsplit)
AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'split'
