Essentially I want each new word from the user input to be on the next line, so a sentence such as: "Hello World" would appear as

"Hello"
"World"

Here is my current script:

EnterString = input("Enter the first word of your sentence ")
e =(EnterString)
e2 =(e.split(" "))
print (e2)

Which would give the result:

['Hello', 'world']

How can I make Python detect the spaces and align the words accordingly?

Thanks in advance.

When you split the input on spaces, you get your list of each "new" word.
You can then print out each one using a loop.

for word in e2:
   print(word)

Use the join method

 print("\n".join(e2))

Judging by your print syntax as well as the fact that you are using input and not raw_input, I believe this is Python 3.x. If so, then you can just do this:

print(*e2, sep="\n")

See a demonstration below:

>>> EnterString = input("Enter the first word of your sentence ")
Enter the first word of your sentence Hello world
>>> e = EnterString
>>> e2 = e.split()
>>> print(*e2, sep="\n")
Hello
world
>>>

Here is a reference on what the * is.

Also, str.split defaults to split on whitespace. So, all you need is e.split().

However, if you are in fact on Python 2.x (namely, Python 2.7), then you will also need to put this line at the top of your script:

from __future__ import print_function

The above will make print like it is in Python 3.x, allowing you to use it as I demonstrated.
