Get all the characters one at a time:

    >>> inp = raw_input('enter a string> ')
    enter a string> this is a string
    >>> for ch in inp: print ch
    ...
    t
    h
    i
    s

    i
    s

    a

    s
    t
    r
    i
    n
    g

Or just get a single character:

    >>> inp[3]
    's'
    >>>
