Print and join statement in python

Question

I am newbie to python. I have a sequence and I am able to print it using join method and able to print the length of the sequence separately. I am not able to print

Answer 1

First of all, don't use str as a variable name. This is a built-in; using it as a variable name means you can't access it (e.g. to convert other items to strings).

Secondly, I would recommend string formatting here:

print "The join output is: {0}. The length is: {1}.".format("-".join(seq), 
                                                            len(seq))
