How can I pass the characters in the string inside of the list into the list of lists

Question

I'm trying to brute force all the possible solution of the minesweeper game for my homework but I don't know how to pass the characters in the string inside of the list to the list of lists.

[['1', '0'], ['1', '0']]

[[' ', ' '], [' ', ' ']]

['0000', '0001', '0010', '0011', '0100', '0101', '0110', '0111', '1000', '1001', '1010', '1011', '1100', '1101', '1110', '1111']

The first one is my aim solution board, the second one is my empty board, the third one is my binary list. I want to pass all of the numbers to the empty board and if it is not equal to the aim board I have to pass the next binary number

try something like this. change the names of the variables if you wish. I just did a quick code. Please mark this as accepted answer if it works for you.

 x=['0000', '0001', '0010', '0011', '0100', '0101', '0110', '0111', '1000', '1001', '1010', '1011', '1100', '1101', '1110', '1111']

# pick one item at a time
for item in x:
    finList = []
    l1 = []
    l2 = []
    count = 1
    # get individual digits from the string, like from '0001' you will get 0 then 0 then 0 then 1
    for digit in item:
        if count<=2:
            l1.append(digit)
            count += 1
        else:
            l2.append(digit)
    finList.append(l1)
    finList.append(l2)
    print(finList)
