List of Strings to separate sets

Question

So I am having problems with a problem. I have to write a function that turns a list of strings( I don't know how many strings will be in the list as there are different test cases with different lists) into separate sets. I have to do this because I want to use the symmetric difference property of sets on the produced sets later on. For instance how would I convert this list of strings into four separate sets?

(["zebra bear fox elephant", "bear crocodile fox", "rhino elephant crocodile kangaroo", "elephant bear"])

Please remember that I will not know the number of strings in each list and must find a general solution that holds for all.

Answer 1

Straightforward list comprehension:

[set(x.split()) for x in my_list]

(assuming you want words as the elements of your sets)
