Pythonic way to print list items

Question

I would like to know if there is a better way to print all objects in a Python list than this :

myList = [Person(\"Foo\"), Person(\"Bar\")]
print(\"\\n\".joi         


        

Answer 1

For Python 2.*:

If you overload the function __str__() for your Person class, you can omit the part with map(str, ...). Another way for this is creating a function, just like you wrote:

def write_list(lst):
    for item in lst:
        print str(item) 

...

write_list(MyList)

There is in Python 3.* the argument sep for the print() function. Take a look at documentation.

Answer 2

I think this is the most convenient if you just want to see the content in the list:

myList = ['foo', 'bar']
print('myList is %s' % str(myList))

Simple, easy to read and can be used together with format string.

Answer 3

Assuming you are fine with your list being printed [1,2,3], then an easy way in Python3 is:

mylist=[1,2,3,'lorem','ipsum','dolor','sit','amet']

print(f"There are {len(mylist):d} items in this lorem list: {str(mylist):s}")

Running this produces the following output:

There are 8 items in this lorem list: [1, 2, 3, 'lorem', 'ipsum', 'dolor', 'sit', 'amet']

Answer 4

To print each element of a given list using a single line code

 for i in result: print(i)

Answer 5

[print(a) for a in list] will give a bunch of None types at the end though it prints out all the items
