Convert list of strings to space-separated string

Question

I am using underscores to represent the length of a unknown word. How can I print just the underscores without the brackets that represent the list?

Basically, if I have a list of the form ['_', '_', '_', '_'], I want to print the underscores without printing them in list syntax as "_ _ _ _"

Answer 1

Does this work for you

>>> my_dashes = ['_', '_', '_', '_']
>>> print ''.join(my_dashes)
____
>>> print ' '.join(my_dashes)
_ _ _ _
