That works great, until one of the elements of the original list is
"spam and eggs":

    >>> spam = ['apples', 'spam and eggs', 'bananas', 'tofu', 'cats']
    >>> s = " and ".join(spam)
    >>> s.replace(" and ", ", ", len(spam) - 2)  # except the last
    'apples, spam, eggs, bananas and tofu and cats'
