Hi..
I have a list as a=[1, 2, 3 .... ] (4 million elements)
and
b=",".join(a)
than
TypeError: sequence item 0: expected string, int found
I want to change list to a=['1','2','3'] but i don't want to use FOR
because my list very very big.
I'm sorry my bad english.
King regards

1. Use a generator expression:
b = ",".join(str(i) for i in a)
or
2. Use imap
from itertools import imap
b = ",".join(imap(str, a))

What is your worry: memory or time? The result string will be very
very very big. What will you do with the result string -- write it to
a file? If so, look at the cPickle module.

Try b=','.join(map(str, a)) -- it WILL take up some memory (temporarily)
to build the huge resulting string, but there's no real way to avoid
that.
It does run a bit faster than a genexp with for...:
brain:~ alex$ python -mtimeit -s'a=range(4000*1000)'
'b=",".join(map(str,a))'
10 loops, best of 3: 3.37 sec per loop
brain:~ alex$ python -mtimeit -s'a=range(4000*1000)' 'b=",".join(str(x)
for x i
n a)'
10 loops, best of 3: 4.36 sec per loop

It's an interesting mental exercise to try to figure out just how large
that string will be, without using Python.
I get 30,888,889 bytes...

I think you have an off by one error here. (One number, not one byte) :-)

It's certainly off :
[Best viewed in a fixed-width font ... umm, do they still sell squared
paper for doing arithmetic on? I had to rip a page out of a notebook
and rotate it through 90 degrees]
3000001 x 8 = 24000008
0900000 x 7 = 06300000
0090000 x 6 = 00540000
0009000 x 5 = 00045000
0000900 x 4 = 00003600
0000090 x 3 = 00000270
0000009 x 2 = 00000018
------- --------
4000000 30888896
less one for a comma counted above but not used -30888895
difference is 6 bytes which is one number (8) LESS 2 bytes
