Does Python "join" on either side of the lines?

Question

l = ['1','2','3']
goal = ['<li>1</li>','<li>2</li>']

How can I get goalout l?

I play with a list, but it's messy!

Two options using str.format():

goal = map('<li>{0}</li>'.format, l)

... or...

goal = ['<li>{0}</li>'.format(x) for x in l]

Note that in Python 3.x, an map()iterator will be returned instead of a list, so if you need a list, you will need to use list(map(...)).

Using method string.format

goal = ['<li>{0}</li>'.format(sym)  for sym in l]

Try string formatting and list comprehension, for example.

goal = ['<li>{0}</li>'.format(x) for x in l]
