How do I turn a list of lists of words into a sentence string?

Question

I have this list

[[\'obytay\'], [\'ikeslay\'], [\'ishay\'], [\'artway\']]

where I need it to look like

obytay ikeslay ishay ar         


        

Answer 1

You have a list in a list so its not working the way you think it should. Your attempt however was absolutely right. Do it as follows:

' '.join(word[0] for word in word_list)

where word_list is your list shown above.

>>> word_list = [['obytay'], ['ikeslay'], ['ishay'], ['artway']]
>>> print ' '.join(word[0] for word in word_list)
obytay ikeslay ishay artway
