Add null character to string in python

Question

I have list as:

['t','e','s','t','s','t','r','i','n','g']

How to add null character after each string t, e, s, t, s, t, r, i, n, g?

Why do you need to add the null character?

List comprehension.

[c + '\0' for c in S]

But it smells like you want UTF-16LE instead.

u'teststring'.encode('utf-16le')

Why use u character in first of string ?

that's all what I want to know

u indicates that the string is Unicode, e.g., u'teléfono'

For those reading and still unsure of the reason there is a 'u' prefix: This prefix is indeed useless in Python 3 as all strings are manipulated in Unicode UTF-8 format by default, but could be used on 2.7 to force UTF--8 format, the default being Ascii (or at least some monobyte code).
