Hey all,

If anyone is interested I found this while googling

answers= ['ask'.'tell','repeat','sell']
 
def unzip(answers): 
  unzipped = "".join(answers) # if all items are strings
  unzipped = ", ".join(map(str, answers))
  unzipped = " ".join(str(v) for v in answers if v > 0)
  return unzipped 

will give the following

  ask tell repeat sell

 :)
