String concatenation in Jinja

Question

I just want to loop through an existing list and make a comma delimited string out of it.
Something like this: my_string = \'stuff, stuff, stuff, stuff\'

Answer 1

My bad, in trying to simplify it, I went too far, actually stuffs is a record of all kinds of info, I just want the id in it.

stuffs = [[123, first, last], [456, first, last]]

I want my_sting to be

my_sting = '123, 456'

My original code should have looked like this:

{% set my_string = '' %}
{% for stuff in stuffs %}
{% set my_string = my_string + stuff.id + ', '%}
{% endfor%}

Thinking about it, stuffs is probably a dictionary, but you get the gist.

Yes I found the join filter, and was going to approach it like this:

 {% set my_string = [] %}
 {% for stuff in stuffs %}
 {% do my_string.append(stuff.id) %}
 {% endfor%}
 {%  my_string|join(', ') %}

But the append doesn't work without importing the extensions to do it, and reading that documentation gave me a headache. It doesn't explicitly say where to import it from or even where you would put the import statement, so I figured finding a way to concat would be the lesser of the two evils.
