Separating a string in Python

How would I separate characters once I have a string of unseparated words?

For example to translate "take the last character of the suffix and add a space to it every time ("aSuffixbSuffixcSuffix" --> "aSuffix bSuffix cSuffix").`

Or, more generally, to replace the x-nth character, where x is any integer (e.g., to replace the 3rd, 6th, 9th, etc. character some something I choose).

You could use the replace method of strings. Check the documentation

initial = "aSuffixbSuffixcSuffix"

final = initial.replace("Suffix", "Suffix ")
print(final)

   str = "SuffixbSuffixcSuffix"

   def chunk_str(str, chunk_size):
        return [str[i:i+chunk_size] for i in range(0, len(str), chunk_size)]

   " ".join(chunk_str(str,3))

returns:

'Suf fix bSu ffi xcS uff ix'

Assuming you're getting your string from this question, the easiest way is to not cram all the strings together in the first place. Your original create_word could be changed to this:

def create_word(suffix):
    letters="abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"
    return [i + suffix for i in letters]

Then you'd be able to take e and ''.join(e) or ' '.join(e) to get the strings you want.
