AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'split'

This error occurs when you try to use the split() method on a list object. The split() method is used to split a string into a list of substrings based on a separator. However, since lists are already a collection of items, they do not have a split() method.

To resolve this error, you need to make sure that you are applying the split() method on a string object rather than a list object. If you are trying to split a string that is stored within a list, you need to access that element of the list first before applying the split() method. For example:

my_list = ["apple, banana, cherry"]
my_string = my_list[0] # Access the first element of the list
split_string = my_string.split(",") # Split the string into a list based on commas

In this example, we accessed the first element of the list (which is a string), and then applied the split() method on that string.
