Problem Formulation
print([1, 2, 3]) # Output: [1, 2, 3] # Desired: [1 2 3]

🌍 Recommended Tutorial: How to Print a List Without Brackets and Commas in Python?
Method 1: Unpacking Multiple Values into Print Function
lst = [1, 2, 3] print('[', *lst, ']') # [ 1 2 3 ]
Method 2: String Replace Method
my_list = [1, 2, 3] # Convert List to String s = str(my_list) print(s) # [1, 2, 3] # Replace Separating Commas s = s.replace(',', '') # Print List Without Commas print(s) # [1 2 3]
Method 3: String Join With Generator Expression
my_list = [1, 2, 3] print('[', ' '.join(str(x) for x in my_list), ']') # Output: [ 1 2 3 ]
💡 Note: Combining the join()
method with a generator expression and string concatenation is the recommended approach of choice if you want to convert a list to a string without commas instead of printing it.
Here’s an example:
my_list = [1, 2, 3] s = '[' + ' '.join(str(x) for x in my_list) + ']' print(s) # Output: [ 1 2 3 ]
Method 4: Print NumPy Array
Sometimes it is sufficient to use the NumPy default output that is without separating commas. For example, if you print a list it yields [1, 2, 3]
. And if you print an array it yields [1 2 3]
. You can easily convert a list to a NumPy array using the np.array(lst)
constructor.
import numpy as np my_list = [1, 2, 3] print(np.array(my_list)) # Output: [1 2 3]
