Wow, that means I can do this: print ''.join('But this parrot is dead!')
But why do you want to do that?
"join" iterates over the string you gave as an argument and puts the
empty string in between each character:
'B' + '' + 'u' + '' + 't' + '' + ...
Thus you end up with the same string as you started.
Or did you mean something like:
>>> print '<>'.join('But this parrot is dead!')
B<>u<>t<> <>t<>h<>i<>s<> <>p<>a<>r<>r<>o<>t<> <>i<>s<> <>d<>e<>a<>d<>!
