list to string

[Lars Behrens]

Hi there!

I need help for cgi-script.

I've been fiddling around for quite a while, searched through lots of
doc. But I didn't get it:

Can someone point me a way to change a list with arbitrary number of
items to a string :

vals = ['aaa', 'bbb', 'ccc']
valstring = 'aaa, bbb, ccc'

Seems easy at the first glance, but...

# here you import a lot of functions on strings
import string

vals = ['a','b','c']
valstring = string.join(val s,",")
