Converting LINESTRING wkt representation LINESTRING((a b),(c d)) to LineString[(a,b),(c,d)]

Question

I know how to go from

line = LineString([(0, 0), (1, 1), (2, 2)])

to

LINESTRING ((0 0), (1 1), (2 2))

But not the other way around. How do I do this?

The reason I need to do this is that I want to be able to apply the following function to split my LINESTRING into its sides.

from shapely.geometry import LineString, LinearRing
def segments(curve):
    return list(map(LineString, zip(curve.coords[:-1], curve.coords[1:])))
line = LineString([(0, 0), (1, 1), (2, 2)])
line_segments = segments(line)
for segment in line_segments:
    print(segment)

and it cannot be applied to WKT representations of linestrings.
