    new_summary=' '.join( map(str,summary) ) + \n
                                                ^
SyntaxError: unexpected character after line continuation character

so I added it as

new_summary=' '.join( map(str,summary[1:-3]) ) + "\n"

but each one in summary does not show in new line.

new_summary='\n'.join(map(str,summary[1:-3]))

This one works,
