In BASH, I can have a single format descriptor for a list:
$ a='4 5 6 7'
$ printf "%sth\n" $a
4th
5th
6th
7th
Is this not possible in Python? Using "join" rather than "format" still
doesn't quite do the job:
>>> a = range(4, 8)
>>> print ('th\n'.join(map(str,a)))
4th
5th
6th
7
Is there an elegant way to print-format an arbitrary length list?
How about this -
a = range(4, 8)
print('\n'.join(['{}th'.format(x) for x in a]))
4th
5th
6th
7th
