Python list of strings to 1 string separated by comma & quotes (, & ")
I have a list of strings:
list_of_strings = ["A", "List", "Of", "Strings"]
I want to convert it to one new string looking like:
new_string=""" "A", "List", "Of", "Strings" """
(
I tried to use the join function, but i didn't manage to do it properly:
','.join(list_of_strings) )
python string list join quotes

I think there's an XY problem here. What are you trying to achieve by building this string?

You need the double quotes on your string.
new_string = " " + ", ".join(['"{}"'.format(x) for x in list_of_strings]) + " "
