Joining a list of python objects with __str__ method

Question

I\'ve already looked at this question on representing strings in Python but my question is slightly different.

Here\'s the code:

>>> class W         


        

Answer 1

You technically aren't joining the list of python objects, just their string representation.

>>> reduce(lambda x,y: "%s\n%s" % (x,y), weird_list)
'1302226564.83\n1302226564.83\n1302226564.83'
>>> 

This works as well but doesn't look any nicer:

>>> a = ""
>>> for x in weird_list:
...     a+="%s\n" % x
... 
>>> print a
1302226564.83
1302226564.83
1302226564.83
