        As others have mentioned, you likely are NOT passing in a string, but 
rather a list of strings. If you used readlines() then the data is not 
a string, but a list with each line being an entry in the list (though 
the newline is still at the end of each such entry). IOW, the "string" 
has already been split -- though you might want to strip the newline 
from the end of each.
