[Tutor] python string __add__

[Guillaume]

I've got some times to run the prog
and strangely when I type
string.join(mylist,")
I've got a syntax error with the little ^ under the
second parenthesis.
I use Python 2.2, could u explain me why?
Thanx

python has the ability to create a string from a sequence separated by a
given
delimiter.  in earlier pythons that capability is in the string module;
later
python, the string object itself had the method.

so

>>> import string
>>> mylist = ['s', 'p', 'a', 'm']
>>> string.join(mylist, '')
'spam'
>>> ''.join(mylist)
'spam'
>>> ','.join(mylist)
's,p,a,m'
>>>

hopefully with this bit you should be able to get what you want...
