Equivalent of R's paste command for vector of numbers in Python

Question

This must have been asked before, but I'm afraid I can't find the answer.

In R, I can write

paste0('s', 1:10)

which returns a list of 10 character (string) variables:

[1] "s1"  "s2"  "s3"  "s4"  "s5"  "s6"  "s7"  "s8"  "s9"  "s10"

How do I do this simply in Python? The only way I can think of is with a for loop, but there must be a simple one-liner.

I've tried things like

's' + str(np.arange(10))
['s', str(np.arange(10))]

Answer 1

>>> ["s" + str(i) for i in xrange(1,11)]
['s1', 's2', 's3', 's4', 's5', 's6', 's7', 's8', 's9', 's10']

EDIT: range works in both Python 2 and Python 3, but in Python 2 xrange is a little more efficient potentially (it's a generator not a list). Thansk @ytu

Answer 2

>>> list(map('s{}'.format, range(1, 11)))
['s1', 's2', 's3', 's4', 's5', 's6', 's7', 's8', 's9', 's10']
