I think you want to have a look at string.join().
For example...
>>> import string
>>> x =3D ['I', 'am', 'a', 'string']
>>> string.join(x)
'I am a string'
You can also specify the separating character as well, with a second =
argument. Like...
>>> x =3D ['W', 'o', 'r', 'd']
>>> string.join(x, '')
'Word'
Hope that helps,
Glen.

Subject: [Tutor] Converting a list to a string
Hi all,
If i have a list=20
status =3D ['tftp>', 'Sent', '1943', 'bytes', 'in', '0.0', 'seconds'],
is there a single command which will give me a string=20
tftp> Sent 1943 bytes in 0.0 seconds
OR do i have to do=20
stat_str =3D ''
for elt in status:
stat_str =3D stat_str + ' ' + elt
TIA,
Praveen.
