How do you take a nested list and display it in curses?

Question

I want to take a list like this

mylist = [['_','X','_'],['X','_','_'],['X','_','_']]

and display it like this:

_ X _
X _ _
X _ _

would I use 2 nested loops and build a string?

mystring=''
for line in mylist:
   for char in line:
       mystring += char + ' '
   mystring += '\n'
screen.addstr(mystring,0,0)

mylist = [['_','X','_'],['X','_','_'],['X','_','_']]

mystring = '\n'.join(' '.join(sublist) for sublist in mylist)

screen.addstr(mystring,0,0)

You can do this using str.join :

for i in mylist :
    print ''.join(i)

If you want spaces between the characters, replace '' by a whitespace ' '.
