Python - convert list to string

In this article, we would like to show you how to convert list to a string in Python.

Quick solution:

my_list = ["a", "b", "c"]
text = "".join(my_list)

print(text)  # abc

Practical example

In this example, we convert list to a string using join() method with a specified separator. This time as a separator we use a single space (" ").

my_list = ["dirask", "is", "awesome"]
text = " ".join(my_list)

print(text)  # dirask is awesome

Output:

dirask is awesome

Note:

We use a single space (" ") as a separator in join() method. To use a different separator, simply type new character in double-quotes before the metod.

"_".join(my_list)

Output:

dirask_is_awesome
