Printing List Shows Single Quote Mark

I have the following python code snippet: LL=[] for i in range(3): LL.append('a'+str(i)) print LL The output comes as: ['a0', 'a1', 'a2'] How can I print as (using print LL):

Solution 1:

You are printing the repr format of the list. Use join and format instead

>>>print"[{}]".format(', '.join(LL))
[a0, a1, a2]

Solution 2:

Here's one utility function that worked for me:

defprintList(L):
    # print list of objects using string representationif (len(L) == 0):
        print"[]"return
    s = "["for i inrange (len(L)-1):
        s += str(L[i]) + ", "
    s += str(L[i+1]) + "]"print s

This works ok for list of any object, for example, if we have a point class as below:

classPoint:
    def__init__(self, x_crd, y_crd):
        self.x = x_crd
        self.y = y_crd
    def__str__(self):
        return"(" + str(self.x) + "," + str(self.y) + ")"

And have a list of Point objects:

L = []
for i in range(5):
    L.append(Point(i,i))
printList(L)

And the output comes as:

[(0,0), (1,1), (2,2), (3,3), (4,4)]

And, it served my purpose. Thanks.
