check out os.path.split as well

There are a couple things you need to be aware of.
First, your string includes the ASCII control character \r. You either
need to escape your backslashes by doubling them up or use a raw string:
"C:\\workFolder\\shots\\renderFolder"
# or
r"C:\workFolder\shots\renderFolder"
Now, the reason you're hitting a SyntaxError is because your split
string is an unescaped backslash, which makes Python think you're
trying to escape a single quote inside a single-quoted string and then
failing to complete the string with another single quote. Escaping
your backslash will work, but a safer bet is to use os.sep.
import os
r"C:\workFolder\shots\renderFolder".split(os.sep)

Thanks! Now I get it. Does split only work on a list? I am getting an
error trying to use split on a string. There's something about this
that isn't clicking for me.
wPath = "C:\workFolder\shots\renderFolder"
wPath.split('\')[:4]
SyntaxError: EOL while scanning string literal
