I've having a hard time opening files in Workspaces, when I run "python filename.py" nothing happens.

I have been following along with the tutorials and entering the code into Workspaces. But when i go to the console to run it nothing happens.

greeting_list.py 
full_name = "Ian Crook"
name_list = (full_name.split)

Not sure about the workspace, but your code isn't right. So that would cause an issue.

full_name = "Ian Crook"
name_list = full_name.split()

You almost had it, you don't put the () around the entire thing. Split is a function so we call it like in the example above.

Does this help answer your question? Thanks!
