Suspect you won't like it (since you specified "single line")
print("\n".join([str(itm) for itm in lst]))
List comprehension (hmmm, generator expression might work as well), taking
each item from the list, forcing the item into a STRING format, then join
the items with a new-line between each.
>>> lst = [ 1, 3.14159,
... "a string", ("a", "tuple") ]
>>> print("\n".join([str(itm) for itm in lst]))
1
3.14159
a string
('a', 'tuple')
>>>
>>> print("\n".join((str(itm) for itm in lst)))
1
3.14159
a string
('a', 'tuple')
>>>
Generator expression works too, and may avoid creating the intermediate
list.
