Surely you have left and right mixed up? x = 1 x = None x = "spam" x = [] The name x has no type associated with it. The object bound to the name does. -- Steven. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

It would make no sens in a dynamically typed language, where type informations belong to the LHS of a binding, not the RHS. I guess that what you want is to build a string out of a list of strings. If so, the answer is (assuming you want a newline between each element of the list): print "\n".join(str1) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

It's called "str1" but it is a list. > I am doing it this way. > > for s in str1: > temp_s = s > print temp_s That's redundant. Why not just "print s"? That will work perfectly. You can do any of the following, depending on what you are trying to do. my_list = ["first string", "second string", "third string"] # print the entire list as a string print my_list # print each string individually for s in my_list: print s # save the string representation of the entire list as a variable my_str = repr(my_list) another_str = str(my_list) Note that repr() and str() may have different results, depending on the type of object you pass into them. # extract the first string into another variable my_str = my_list[0] # insert the third string into another string my_string = "This is the %s here." % my_list[2] Hope that helps. -- Steven. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
