list printing in formatted string in python

Question

In python to print a formatted string with ints and strings, I'd usually do :

print '%d %d - %s' %(x,y, mystr)

Is there anything similar for printing out a list? I have:

L= [1,0,0]
name = 'V'

and I want the output to be :

v(1,0,0)

Is there anything similar to %d for list objects?

Answer 1

If you want complete control how the list gets rendered, you'll have to format it separately.

In your case, the code would be something like:

items = [1,0,0]
name = 'V'
formatted = '%s(%s)' % (
    name,
    ','.join(str(it) for it in items)
)
