How to use newline '\n' in f-string to format output in Python 3.6?

Question

I would like to know how to format this case in a Pythonic way with f-strings:

names = [\'Adam\', \'Bob\', \'Cyril\']
text = f\"Winners are:\\n{\'\\n\'.join(         


        

Answer 1

You don't need f-strings or other formatters to print a list of strings with a separator. Just use the sep keyword argument to print():

names = ['Adam', 'Bob', 'Cyril']
print('Winners are:', *names, sep='\n')

Output:

Winners are:
Adam
Bob
Cyril

That said, using str.join()/str.format() here would arguably be simpler and more readable than any f-string workaround:

print('\n'.join(['Winners are:', *names]))
print('Winners are:\n{}'.format('\n'.join(names)))
