Python: simplest way to join strings inserting a string between them?

Question

strs = ['x=1', 'b=4', 'x=4']

I want to get:

str = 'x=1 AND b=4 AND x=4'

What is a simplest way to do that in Python?

P.S. too stupid question
Found:

' AND '.join( strs )

You shouldn't call your variable str (not even for a quick example), there is a builtin str — jamylak

>>> strs = ['x=1', 'b=4', 'x=4']
>>> print ' AND '.join(strs)
x=1 AND b=4 AND x=4

You answered you own question, join is the way to do this.

' '.join(strs)

Will put a space between each item in strs. And the following:

' AND '.join(strs)

Will put ' AND ' between each item.
