Is there a way to print the elements of a list object in Python?

Question

This is the object:

mylist = Rep().all().fetch(10)

More information here.

Thanks.

UPDATE4

The following code displays the lists:

    Rep().replist = L                                   
    Rep().put()                              
    query = Rep.all()
    for result in query:
        self.response.out.write(result.replist)

like this:

[u'a', u'b'][u'a', u'b'][u'a', u'b']

Is there any way I can take one of the lists as a list not an object and apply list operations to it? Thanks.

EDIT3

@RexE: I tried

% for i in mylist:
  ${i.replist}
% endfor

but it prints the empty list like this: []

I also tried:

% for i in range(len(mylist)):
%    for item in mylist:
       ${item.replist}
    % endfor
% endfor

But that prints more empty lists. [] [] [] []

EDIT2

% for i in list(mylist):
${i}
% endfor

returns the object too: <__main__.Rep object at 0x06F629F0>

This is the loop I've been trying:

% for i in mylist:
${i}
% endfor

This is the result:

<__main__.Rep object at 0x06BCFDB0>

Answer 1

Iterate over the elements of the list (usually with a for loop) and print each individual element.

for i in [1, 3, 6]:
  print i

Answer 2

Is there anything wrong with the straight-forward?

for item in mylist:
    print item

Or for that matter

print mylist

Answer 3

It's a little bit of a trick question because mylist isn't really a list ;) It's an object with an iterator.

Therefore

for i in mylist:
    print i;

will work, but

print mylist

won't. However a list comprehnsion will give a true list that will print as expected:

print [i for i in mylist]

Answer 4

I am not sure I understand the question, but may be you need to create the str() for Rep class?

class Some:
    def __init__(self, v):
        self.v = v

class Some2:
    def __init__(self, v):
        self.v = v

def __str__(self):
        return "Hi! I am %s" % (self.v)


s = Some("one")
print s

s2 = Some2("one")
print s2

Result:

C:\temporary>python 1.py
<__main__.Some instance at 0x00B463A0>
Hi! I am one

Answer 5

Instead of printing the Rep object itself (which you call i), you probably want to print a property of the object, like i.author (or whatever properties of a Rep object you want to show).

So instead of this:

% for i in mylist:
${i}
% endfor

You probably want something like this:

% for i in mylist:
${i.author}
% endfor

As demas pointed out, unless the Rep class has a __str__ method, printing it is meaningless since Python doesn't know what properties to print. If you want to learn more about that, see here.

By the way, are you sure you want to be doing Rep().all() and not Rep.all()?
