[Tutor] Removing characters in a string using format()

2011-07-21 Thread Ryan Porter

Hi there,

In one part of a program I'm writing, I want a list to be printed to the 
string. Here's my code:


# Begin snippet
listString = input('Please enter a single item: >').strip();

/print();
itemList.append(listString);
/

/...
/

/print('And here it is in alphabetical order:', itemList)
# End Snippet
/

However, when I print the list, I get something like this: ['Python', 
'best', 'ever', 'is', 'language', 'programming', 'the'] with brackets. 
Is there a way to use format() to remove the brackets before the list is 
printed?


Thanks for the help!

Since you're using python 3, you can just use a star to unpack the list

like so:

>>> print(*x)
a b
>>> print(*x, sep = ', ')
a, b

You can use sep to change the separator if you want the commas still.
