Seemingly Simple Python Question [ANSWERED]

[LtStaffel]

Hello,

So I've made this Python program and it works great. But now I'm converting it to 2.X (I wrote it in 3.4) and I'm having trouble getting the same output in 2.X as 3.4. Basically I'm trying to print out every element in a list without spaces or extra list stuff. In 3.4 it goes like this:

for k in endingList:
    print(k, end="")

And in 2.X I'm doing:

for k in endingList:
    print k,

But in that I get spaces in between the elements, although they are on the same line. I don't know how to get the end="" parameter into 2.X (I'm assuming that's all I have to do, is get it in there somehow) but I can't seem to figure it out. I have a feeling there's a very simple solution I should know, but I can't find it. Thanks for your help in advance

printing in 2 is a mess in my opinion, but achievable none the less 

If its newer than 2.6 I think you can import some functions of 3 like the end parameter

There's a module you can import thats supposed to help with printing

Other than that my only thought is to treat it as a string and edit it before print/echo

It should be " " instead of "".

But that's the idea, I don't want that space.

I'll look into that, thanks.

If the items in the list are strings you can do

print ''.join(a)

or if they're not strings

print ''.join((str(x) for x in a))

This will also be faster than using a loop and printing each item.

This works for me :

list={1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10}
for i in list:
	print(i,end="")

It prints the numbers without any spaces.

Thank you! This is what I needed.

I believe you're in Python 3.X, and yes, there it works. But I'm converting my 3.X program to 2.X and print parentheses are invalid syntax.
