It depends on the requirements of the OP. A possible solution could be: my_second_list = [] try: my_second_list.append("".join(my_list)) except TypeError: my_second_list.append("".join(str(item) for item in my_list) ) But it depends on the the actual requirements, maybe it isn't meaningful for the original list to contain numbers (think for instance of nucleotide sequences...?)
