Assuming you are fine with your list being printed  1 2 3   then an easy way in Python3 is   mylist  1 2 3  lorem   ipsum   dolor   sit   amet    print f There are  len mylist  d  items in this lorem list   str mylist  s      Running this produces the following output      There are 8 items in this lorem list   1  2  3   lorem    ipsum      dolor    sit    amet

OP s question is  does something like following exists  if not then why  print p  for p in myList   doesn t work  OP s intuition   answer is  it does exist which is    p for p in myList   works perfectly   Basically  use    for list comprehension and get rid of print to avoiding printing None  To see why print prints None see this

I think this is the most convenient if you just want to see the content in the list   myList     foo    bar   print  myList is  s    str myList     Simple  easy to read and can be used together with format string

To display each content  I use   mylist     foo    bar   indexval   0 for i in range len mylist             print mylist indexval       indexval    1   Example of using in a function   def showAll listname  startat      indexval   startat    try        for i in range len mylist             print mylist indexval            indexval   indexval   1    except IndexError        print  That index value you gave is out of range      Hope I helped

Expanding  lucasg s answer  inspired by the comment it received    To get a formatted list output  you can do something along these lines   l    1 2 5  print      join   02d  x for x in l   01  02  05   Now the      provides the separator  only between items  not at the end  and the formatting string  02d combined with  x gives a formatted string for each item x - in this case  formatted as an integer with two digits  left-filled with zeros

I recently made a password generator and although I m VERY NEW to python  I whipped this up as a way to display all items in a list  with small edits to fit your needs         x   0     up   0     passwordText          password          userInput   int input  Enter how many characters you want your password to be          print   n n n     spacing      while x  lt    userInput - 1    loops as many times as the user inputs above             password extend  choice groups characters     adds random character from groups file that has all lower uppercase letters and all numbers             x   x 1  adds 1 to x w o using x   1 as I get many errors w  that             passwordText   passwordText   password up              up   up 1   same as x increase       print passwordText    Like I said  IM VERY NEW to Python and I m sure this is way to clunky for a expert  but I m just here for another example

For Python 2     If you overload the function   str     for your Person class  you can omit the part with map str        Another way for this is creating a function  just like you wrote   def write list lst       for item in lst          print str item         write list MyList    There is in Python 3   the argument sep for the print   function  Take a look at documentation

Assuming you are using Python 3 x   print  myList  sep   n     You can get the same behavior on Python 2 x using from   future   import print function  as noted by mgilson in comments   With the print statement on Python 2 x you will need iteration of some kind  regarding your question about print p  for p in myList not working  you can just use the following which does the same thing and is still one line   for p in myList  print p   For a solution that uses   n  join    I prefer list comprehensions and generators over map   so I would probably use the following   print   n  join str p  for p in myList
