printing contents of a list on one line

[fordie1000]

Hi,

Just wondering if someone can tell me how I could iterate through a list and
print each item next to one another.

for example :

If I have a list a = [1,2,3,4,5]

I could of course do this :

for item in list :
         print item 
 

but that prints each item on a new row .... what I want is to print each item so
it reads like this :

12345

with no new line after printing each item.

Thanks,

try this
print item ,

You should try not to use list as the variable name for your lists since it is a reserved word in Python.

Here's a tiny list comprehension that does the same thing as ghostdog's minus the spaces:

>>> ll = [1,2,3,4,5]
>>> print ''.join([str(item) for item in ll])
12345
>>> 
 

w/o list comprehension:

>>> ll = [1,2,3,4,5]
>>> txt = ''
>>> for item in ll:
...     txt += str(item)
...     
>>> print txt
12345
>>>

That worked perfectly ... thanks a million.

>>> li = range(10)
>>> print reduce(lambda x, y: str(x) + str(y), li)
