Thanks all for the answers.

print(('{}th\n' * len(a)).format(*a))

Those two look closest to what I was hoping for, I guess, but as Chris

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))

Not as such; you'll need to treat items differently from sequences of
items.
