python - Printing list shows single quote mark

Question

I have the following python code snippet:

LL=[]
for i in range(3):
    LL.append("a"+str(i))
print LL

The output comes as:

['a0', 'a1', 'a2']

How can I print as (using print LL):

[a0, a1, a2]

i.e. without the quote mark? If I use the following code:

print "[",
for i in range (len(LL)-1):
    print LL[i] + ", ",
print LL[i+1]+"]"

This prints [a0, a1, a2]

Answer 1

You are printing the repr format of the list. Use join and format instead

>>> print "[{}]".format(', '.join(LL))
[a0, a1, a2]
