The built-in str join() method just doesn't do the conversion to
string automatically -- instead it assume it has been given a sequence
of string. You can achieve the effect you want by modifying the
optimized version of my earlier post that @Ian Kelly submitted.
def join(seq, sep):
it = iter(seq)
sep = str(sep)
try:
first = it.next()
except StopIteration:
return []
def add_sep(r, v):
r += [sep, str(v)]
return r
return ''.join(reduce(add_sep, it, [str(first)]))
class A:
def __init__(self, i):
self.i = i
def __str__(self):
return "magic_function_{}".format(self.i)
lst = [A(0),A(1),A('b'),A(3)]
print repr( join(lst, '|') )
Output:
'magic_function_0|magic_function_1|magic_function_b|magic_function_3'
