Remove space from print output - Python 3

Question

I have this..

the_tuple = (1,2,3,4,5)
print ('\"',the_tuple[1],'\"')

showing

" 2 "

How can I get the output to show "2"?

Answer 1

Use:

print ('\"',the_tuple[1],'\"', sep='')
                               ^^^^^^

Note that those escapes are completely unnecessary:

print ('"', the_tuple[1], '"', sep='')

Or even better, use string formatting:

print ('"{}"'.format(the_tuple[1]))
