So you'd propose to add some kind of def Join(sep, *args): return sep.join(map(str, args))
To the standard lib ? Or to add another method to str class that do that ? class str: ... def Join(self, *args): return self.join(map(str, args)) I agree such a function is super convenient but does it need to be added to the standard lib I have it in my custom utils.py and my PYTHONTARTUP.py file so that I can use it everywhere. Call it Join, superjoin, joinargs...
