[Tutor] avoid split function

[kumar s]

Dear group, 
 I am a newbie to Python. I am grinding my abilities
in list datatypes  and fuctions. 

I am trying to avoid .split() function to process a
string. 

My programs follows: 

m = []
y = []

a = "This is a test"

for i in range(0,len(a)):
     if a[i] == "  ":
           print y
     elif a[i] != "  ":
             y.append(a[i])
             m.append(y[0:])

I wanted to push "This" in to m as m = ['This']


I know i can do this using:

c = a.split()


I just wanted to avoid using split and make it work.
The output I always get is y =
['T','h','i','s','i','s','a','t','e','s','t']

I created m because I wanted to push each element of
y(y = ['T','h','i','s']) to m to make it ['This'].

Can any one help me please suggest some tricks of how
I could do that.

Thank you.

PS
