And why is that a problem?

Almost the only reason to print a list is when debugging a program. To
print a list, Python uses repr() on each of its elements. Otherwise, [5,
"5", u'5'] would be indistinguishable from [5, 5, 5], and you usually want
to know exactly *what* the list contains.

Perhaps if you tell us what do you want to do exactly someone can offer
more advice.
