Python: How to add a new line with a variable inside of the print function

Question

In Python, I'm aware that '\\n' adds a new line when using a string inside of a print call. But how do I add a new line when using a variable inside of the print function?

For example:

print("\nHello") # <----- string used, no issues here

produces

>>> print("\nHello")

Hello

Now suppose I have a list named guest_list . How would I do something akin to " print('\\n'guest_list) ", printing an empty line and then the list?

Thanks for any help offered!

Answer 1

You can pass an empty string as the first argument and sep='\\n' if you want to avoid formatting/concatenation before printing.

>>> guest_list = [1, 2, 3]
>>> print('', guest_list, sep='\n')

[1, 2, 3]

... or equivalently:

>>> print('\n', guest_list, sep='')

[1, 2, 3]

Answer 2

Or convert to string, then add '\\n' to it:

>>> l=[1,2,3]
>>> print('\n'+str(l))

[1, 2, 3]
