Python __str__ and lists

Calling string on a python list calls the __repr__ method on each element inside. For some items, __str__ and __repr__ are the same. If you want that behavior, do:

def __str__(self):
    ...
def __repr__(self):
    return self.__str__()

You can use a list comprehension to generate a new list with each item str()'d automatically:

print([str(item) for item in mylist])
