If you're using the `print` function, you can use the * operator to
unpack the items of the list. Add the option sep='\n' to print each
item on a separate line:
items = [name for name in X if name not in (X[0],X[-1])]
print(*items, sep='\n')
To get the `print` function in 2.x, add the following to the top of your module:
from __future__ import print_function
