How to split list into separate lines?

Question

I have a list which is made by the following code:

[ self.directory + "/" + file for file in os.listdir(self.directory) ]

When i print this list out it appears on one line separated by commas.

How do I split this list so that when printed each listed item appears on its own line?

Thanks in advance

By the way, don't use `dir + "/" + file` - use `os.path.join(dir, file)`. — Tim Pietzcker, Feb 22 '13 at 16:09

Well, if you want the items in a list in separate lines, you could have done

your_list = [ self.directory + "/" + file for file in os.listdir(self.directory) ]

for e in your_list:
    print e

or use str.split

print '\n'.join(your_list)

with join, you can create a string: `st='\n'.join(your_list)` Then send `st` to tkinter. – dawg Feb 22 '13 at 16:16
