I would suggest you avoid list comprehensions until you master long-form loops.
I actually have the answer except for a glitch where on list element is an int.
My code
for item in data:
out = '[{0}]'.format("][".join(item))
print(out)
which prints out
[glossary]
[glossary][title]
[glossary][GlossDiv]
[glossary][GlossDiv][title]
[glossary][GlossDiv][GlossList]
....
However, in my source I have two lines like this
['glossary', 'GlossDiv', 'GlossList', 'GlossEntry', 'GlossDef',
'GlossSeeAlso', 0],
['glossary', 'GlossDiv', 'GlossList', 'GlossEntry', 'GlossDef',
'GlossSeeAlso', 1],
when it hits these lines I get
TypeError: sequence item 6: expected str instance, int found
Do I need to do an explicit check for these 2 cases or is there a simpler way?
Cheers
Sayth
out = '[{0}]'.format("][".join(str(item)))
