[Python] Issue Appending " to a List in Python

I am attempting to split a string by each word and symbol into a list. This should put them in separate strings by iteration in the function SplitString().

For example:

display("Hello, World!") -> ['display', '(', '"', 'Hello', ',', 'World', '!', '"', ')']

However, in my code, the double quotation symbol (") does not get appended to the list. It shows as this instead:

['display', '(', 'Hello', ',', 'World', '!', '', ')']

Here is my code:

string = 'display("Hello, World!")'


def SplitString(string):
splitstring = []
newword = ''
firstIteration = True
symbolPassed = False # Initialize here

for i in string:
if newword == '' and firstIteration == False and symbolPassed == True:
symbolPassed = False

elif i == ' ':
if newword:
splitstring.append(newword)
newword = ''
symbolPassed = False

elif i in '!?+-*/=<>()}{][.,\":;@£$%^&|¬`~_€]':
splitstring.append(newword)
newword = ''
splitstring.append(i)
newword = ''
symbolPassed = True

else:
newword += i
symbolPassed = False

firstIteration = False


if newword:
splitstring.append(newword)

return splitstring

SplitedString = SplitString(string)


for i in range(0, len(SplitedString)):
print(SplitedString)
print(SplitedString)
