So much was obvious from your post.

What was not obvious was (1) if you have been using Python for a
while, how you managed to be unaware of str methods (2) if you are a
newbie, how you managed to find out about the string module but not
find out about str methods [e.g. it's easy to miss the one line in the
"official" Python tutorial that refers to them] (3) why you were not
using obvious(?) methods to find out for yourself -- much faster than
posing a question on the newsgroup, and you don't have to face the
possibility of an impertinent response :-)

A rather strange way of finding an answer to a simple question. A
focussed search (or an index!) is more appropriate. Why would you
expect the python formal description to have details on the syntax of
individual class methods? Do you always do a serial scan of all tables
for any database query? In addition to approaches I mentioned earlier,
you could try:
(1) going to the docs page on the Python website (http://
www.python.org/doc/), click on the "Search" link about one-third down
the page, and search for "join". You would get 6 results, one of which
is "join() (string method)"
(2) If you are using Windows, use the index tab in the Python-supplied
docs gadget: type in "join" and get the same 6 results. I believe this
facility is available (through a 3rd party) on Linux. [Having the docs
on your PC or USB storage device is very useful if you are working in
an environment where access to the Internet is restricted].
(3) Use Google groups, go to comp.lang.python, type "join string" into
the search box, and click on "Search this group". First result is the
current thread; most (or maybe all) of the next six or so will give
you the syntax your were looking for.
(4) Using Google or any other reasonable web searcher, search for the
3 words: Python join string. Any one of the first few hits gives the
answer you were seeking.

Your terminal is likely the problem. Get rid of the print:
q=unicode.join(u'\u00d7',['hello','world'])
and you will probably get rid of the exception.
(so I guess the issue is the display, not the logic)

A unicode separator will cause all the strings being joined to be decoded using the default encoding (which could cause problems with non-ascii characters in the decoded strings), but the problem here is with encoding, not decoding. 7stud: the problem isn't the join, it is printing the string on your terminal which is the problem. Try just: print u"\u00d7" and you'll get the same problem. Or: lst = ["hello", "world"] joined = unicode.join(u"\u00d7", lst) will work, but you'll still have problems printing the result. If you try it using a Python interpreter with an appropriate output encoding it will work (idle can handle it on my system, but the DOS prompt with its default codepage cannot). -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

You are mixing unicode with bytestrings here. make "hello" u"hello",
same for "world".

When I try the latter example, I get an error:
lst = ["hello", "world"]

In a response to one of my posts I was told 'string' is
obsolet. 'string' was enough for me, but if it is obsolet
then there should be a *new* way, isn't it? The *new*
way I was told to use is "str methods".
I tried that *new* way to do *old* 'string' job. Voila
the reason of my so pertinent question.
I am deeply sorry to have disturbed you in your python's heaven.
Next time I'll read all books available, all texts including
the python formal description before
posting, or perhaps it would be better and more simple if you
just ignore my posts.

In case you are feeling that the ','.join(l) looks a bit jarring, be aware
that there are alternative ways to write it. You can call the method on the
class rather than the instance:
jl = str.join(',', l)
jl = unicode.join(u'\u00d7', 'l')
has the advantage of looking almost the same as the string function except
that the order of the arguments is reversed, the catch is you need to know
the type of the separator in advance. If you have a lot of calls with the
same separator then you can also save the method in an appropriately named
variable:
commaseparated = ','.join
...
jl = commaseparated(l)
