Well you could always do something like this:

Which will put single quotes on the ends.

No, it doesn't. You are conflating foo and repr(foo).

 I suppose if you want to be
silly, you could do this:

output = '"%s"' % ';'.join(roadList)

*IF* your first effort were to put single quotes on the ends ('the-text') then your second effort would certainly produce something silly ... either '"the-text"' or "'the-text'" depending on which of the assignment or the join method you imagined was producing the single quotes.

Well, in IDLE's output, it looked like what the OP wanted and the OP seemed to find my examples helpful. Besides, you did almost the exact same thing in your final example.
