f-string syntax for unpacking a list with brace suppression

Just add a comma after the unpacked list.

a = [1, 2, 3]
print(f"Unpacked list: {*a,}")
# Unpacked list: (1, 2, 3)

There is a longer explanation to this syntax in this thread.

Since any valid Python expression is allowed inside the braces in an f-string, you can simply use str.join() to produce the result you want:

>>> a = [1, 'a', 3, 'b']
>>> f'unpack a list: {" ".join(str(x) for x in a)}'
'unpack a list: 1 a 3 b'

You could of course also write a helper function, if your real-world use case makes the above more verbose than you'd like:

def unpack(s):
    return " ".join(map(str, s))  # map(), just for kicks

>>> f'unpack a list: {unpack(a)}'
'unpack a list: 1 a 3 b'
