How to convert list into string with quotes in python

Question

i have a list and want it as a string with quotes mylist = [1,2,3]

require O/P as myString = \"\'1\',\'2\',\'3\'\"

i tried my

Answer 1

>>> mylist = [1,2,3]
>>> str([str(x) for x in mylist]).strip("[]")
"'1','2','3'"

Answer 2

OR regular repr:

>>> l=[1,2,3]
>>> ','.join(repr(str(i)) for i in l)
"'1','2','3'"
>>> 

Answer 3

This seems to be the only solution so far that isn't a hack...

>>> mylist = [1,2,3]
>>> ','.join("'{0}'".format(x) for x in mylist)
"'1','2','3'"

This can also be written more compactly as:

>>> ','.join(map("'{0}'".format, mylist))
"'1','2','3'"

Answer 4

as a simple hack, why don't you..

mystring = "'%s'" %"','".join(mylist)

wrap the result of your commands in quotes?

Answer 5

you can do this as well

mylist = [1, 2, 3]
mystring = str(map(str, mylist)).strip("[]")
