Drop the '>>>' part. It's just the default Python shell prompt.

Why would one use a for loop to do so ? This is inefficient (even in C - 
it's mostly a system limitation). If you have a list of characters 
(actually, a list of one-character strings - there's no 'char' type in 
Python) and want to print it as a string, then first turn that list into 
a string, then print it:

 >>> list1=['a','b','c']
 >>> print "".join(list1)
