Printing items in list on new lines with compact code

Question

I got the results I wanted by doing this:

list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
def new(x):
  for i in x:
    print i

and then calling new(list) Results would be:

1
2
3
4
5

What I would like to do is something like print [x for x in list] but I can't seem to find the right answer searchin. Is there a more compact way to plint out each item in the list on new lines?

Answer 1

On Python 3.x , simply add a sep while you print :

lst = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
print(*lst, sep="\n")

# 1
# 2
# 3
# 4
# 5

EDIT : On Python 2.6+ , you need to import print_function :

from __future__ import print_function 
lst = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
print(*lst, sep='\n')

Answer 2

I think what you are looking for is :

new = lambda x:"\n".join(map(str,x))
print new(x)

Answer 3

Here an answer without lambda and map() :

ls = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
print('\n'.join([str(a) for a in ls]))

Also, please do not call a variable list as this interferes with the class list
