I would like to know if there is a better way to print all objects in a Python list than this :
myList = [Person("Foo"), Person("Bar")]
print("\n".join(map(str, myList)))
Foo
Bar
I read this way is not really good :
myList = [Person("Foo"), Person("Bar")]
for p in myList:
print(p)
Isn't there something like :
print(p) for p in myList
If not, my question is... why ? If we can do this kind of stuff with comprehensive lists, why not as a simple statement outside a list ?
Assuming you are using Python 3.x:
print(*myList, sep='\n')
You can get the same behavior on Python 2.x using from __future__ import print_function, as noted by mgilson in comments.
With the print statement on Python 2.x you will need iteration of some kind, regarding your question about print(p) for p in myList not working, you can just use the following which does the same thing and is still one line:
for p in myList: print p
For a solution that uses '\n'.join(), I prefer list comprehensions and generators over map() so I would probably use the following:
print '\n'.join(str(p) for p in myList)
I use this all the time :
#!/usr/bin/python
l = [1,2,3,7]
print "".join([str(x) for x in l])
[print(a) for a in list] will give a bunch of None types at the end though it prints out all the items
For Python 2.*:
If you overload the function __str__() for your Person class, you can omit the part with map(str, ...). Another way for this is creating a function, just like you wrote:
def write_list(lst):
for item in lst:
print str(item)
...
write_list(MyList)
There is in Python 3.* the argument sep for the print() function. Take a look at documentation.
Expanding #lucasg's answer (inspired by the comment it received):
To get a formatted list output, you can do something along these lines:
l = [1,2,5]
print ", ".join('%02d'%x for x in l)
01, 02, 05
Now the ", " provides the separator (only between items, not at the end) and the formatting string '02d'combined with %x gives a formatted string for each item x - in this case, formatted as an integer with two digits, left-filled with zeros.
To display each content, I use:
mylist = ['foo', 'bar']
indexval = 0
for i in range(len(mylist)):
print(mylist[indexval])
indexval += 1
Example of using in a function:
def showAll(listname, startat):
indexval = startat
try:
for i in range(len(mylist)):
print(mylist[indexval])
indexval = indexval + 1
except IndexError:
print('That index value you gave is out of range.')
Hope I helped.
I think this is the most convenient if you just want to see the content in the list:
myList = ['foo', 'bar']
print('myList is %s' % str(myList))
Simple, easy to read and can be used together with format string.
I recently made a password generator and although I'm VERY NEW to python, I whipped this up as a way to display all items in a list (with small edits to fit your needs...
x = 0
up = 0
passwordText = ""
password = []
userInput = int(input("Enter how many characters you want your password to be: "))
print("\n\n\n") # spacing
while x <= (userInput - 1): #loops as many times as the user inputs above
password.extend([choice(groups.characters)]) #adds random character from groups file that has all lower/uppercase letters and all numbers
x = x+1 #adds 1 to x w/o using x ++1 as I get many errors w/ that
passwordText = passwordText + password[up]
up = up+1 # same as x increase
print(passwordText)
Like I said, IM VERY NEW to Python and I'm sure this is way to clunky for a expert, but I'm just here for another example
Assuming you are fine with your list being printed [1,2,3], then an easy way in Python3 is:
mylist=[1,2,3,'lorem','ipsum','dolor','sit','amet']
print(f"There are {len(mylist):d} items in this lorem list: {str(mylist):s}")
Running this produces the following output:
There are 8 items in this lorem list: [1, 2, 3, 'lorem', 'ipsum',
'dolor', 'sit', 'amet']
OP's question is: does something like following exists, if not then why
print(p) for p in myList # doesn't work, OP's intuition
answer is, it does exist which is:
[p for p in myList] #works perfectly
Basically, use [] for list comprehension and get rid of print to avoiding printing None. To see why print prints None see this
To print each element of a given list using a single line code
for i in result: print(i)
You can also make use of the len() function and identify the length of the list to print the elements as shown in the below example:
sample_list = ['Python', 'is', 'Easy']
for i in range(0, len(sample_list)):
print(sample_list[i])
Reference : https://favtutor.com/blogs/print-list-python
you can try doing this: this will also print it as a string
print(''.join([p for p in myList]))
or if you want to a make it print a newline every time it prints something
print(''.join([p+'\n' for p in myList]))

I need to generate random number with 4 various literature,
so i wrote this program:
import random
def rand():
i=0
n=""
while i<4:
a = str(random.randint(0,9))
if a not in n:
n +=a
i+=1
return n
print (rand)
The content of the function is correct, but the function cause to strange result :
<function rand at 0x000001E057349D08>
what am I missing?
You are printing the reference to the function itself instead of invoking it. To invoke it, you need to follow it with parenthesis (()):
print (rand())

How to print without a newline or space
(26 answers)
Closed 10 years ago.
Hey I've got a problem with the for loop,
so let say I want to achieve printing "#" signs 5 times with for loop with out space and in one line.
for i in range(5):
print "#",
can how I get ride of the space in between so it looks like ##### instead of # # # # #???
I assume you plan on doing things in this loop other than just printing '#', if that is the case you have a few options options:
import sys
for i in range(5):
sys.stdout.write('#')
Or if you are determined to use print:
for i in range(5):
print "\b#",
or:
from __future__ import print_function
for i in range(5):
print('#', end='')
If you actually just want to print '#' n times then you can do:
n = 5
print '#'*n
or:
n = 5
print ''.join('#' for _ in range(n))
I would use a join... something like this should work:
print(''.join('x' for x in range(5)))
You can do it without a loop!
print '#' * 5
If you're making something more complicated, you can use str.join with a comprehension:
print ''.join(str(i**2) for i in range(4)) # prints 0149
print ','.join(str(i+1) for i in range(5)) # prints 1,2,3,4,5
Use the print function instead. (Note that in Python 2 print is normally a statement, but by importing print_function, it turns into a function).
from __future__ import print_function
for i in range(5):
print('#', end='')
The function supports an end keyword argument, which you can specify.
In addition to the other answers posted, you could also:
mystring = ''
for i in range(5):
mystring += '#' # Note that you could also use mystring.join() method
# .join() is actually more efficient.
print mystring
or you could even just:
print '#'*5
