string.join question

[Chris Myers]

Mongo:

Looks like you have a copy-paste error in your testing of the previous
poster's reply:

He said to do:
a = string.join(string.join(["'", value,"'"],''),'')
                                                  ^
                                              '' not ','

However, you should probably upgrade your python, since that format
has been deprecated, and join is now a method of string objects, not
the string module.
As such, the new way to do this is:

a = ''.join(["'", "aaa", "'"])

I know this suggestion came before, but it got a little garbled from
my POV.

Good luck,
