How can I convert a string to a list in Python using a for loop? [duplicate]

Question

Here's what I have:

def reverse(text): opposite = [] for character in text: stuff = opposite.append(character) return stuff

Is there something wrong with this for loop?

Couldn't you use the split method instead it will return a list

text.split()

Or even

list(text)

Which would list out each character
