easy question about join method

[nephish]

i have seen the join method before, mostly in this group and i want to
get it a little better.

if i have a list

x = ['this','is','a','sentence','held','in','a','list']

how can i make it print as a single string? or make a single string out
of it ?

thanks

The easy way to get one answer for buildin funcs and methods is the help
function in the interactive interpreter (and Idle's and probably other
imitations thereof) is, for example,
Help on method_descriptor:

join(...)
S.join(sequence) -> string

Return a string which is the concatenation of the strings in the
sequence. The separator between elements is S.

To remind how to use 'help', 'help' is more informative than 'help(help)'

very helpful indeed.
i did a help([]) to see if it would give me anything for a list.

thanks a lot.
