Converting a list to string in python 2.7

Question

I have a list xline. It is initialized and then appended. But I am getting an error when I run?

xline = []
---#append
----
print (''.join(xline)) # Convert list into string

Run time error

    print (''.join(xline)) # Convert list into string
TypeError: sequence item 0: expected string, int found

What is wrong?

Can you show us more code please? More specifically, what are you doing with pline? — idjaw

For debug output, consider the repr() function which should give you a string representation for pretty much anything. — Ulrich Eckhardt

You can use str() to transform each element:

print ''.join([str(x) for x in xline])

The above method is more versatile than the map method as I was able to format. I liked map for simplicity but lacks formatting option or I do not know how to format with map.
