Python concatenate string & list

Question

I have a list and string:

fruits = [\'banana\', \'apple\', \'plum\']
mystr = \'i like the following fruits: \'

How can I concatenate them s

Answer 1

You can use str.join.

result = "i like the following fruits: "+', '.join(fruits)

(assuming fruits only contains strings). If fruits contains a non-string, you can convert it easily by creating a generator expression on the fly:

', '.join(str(f) for f in fruits)
