No, you're not iterating wrong, but you do have two errors:

1:  split() returns a list.  You are putting this list (as a single element) inside a list. 
Drop the square brackets.  Make it:  address_library = raw_address.split()

2:  In your for loop, you want the print _inside_ the loop not outside.  IOW, indent the print 
line.  The way you have it written it will only print the _last_ string.
