How to concatenate items in a list to a single string?

Question

Is there a simpler way to concatenate string items in a list into a single string? Can I use the str.join() function?

E.g. this is the input [\'t

Answer 1

Although @Burhan Khalid's answer is good, I think it's more understandable like this:

from str import join

sentence = ['this','is','a','sentence']

join(sentence, "-") 

The second argument to join() is optional and defaults to " ".

EDIT: This function was removed in Python 3
