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.
