Question

I need to convert a list (or a dict) into a comma-separated list for passing to another language.

Is there a nicer way of doing this than:

 result = ''  args = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd']   i = 0  for arg in args:      if i != 0:    result += arg      else:         result += arg + ', '      i += 1   result = 'function (' + result + ') 

Thanks, Dan

Answer 1

'function(%s)' % ', '.join(args) 

produces

'function(a, b, c, d)'
