Python – Create String from List of Characters

To create a string from a list of characters in Python, you can use string join() method.

Call join() method on an empty string, and pass the given list of characters as argument to the method.

For example, if my_list contains the list of characters, then the expression to create a string from this list of character is

"".join(my_list)

The above expression joins the characters in the given list with empty string as separator, and returns the resulting string.
