Converting a Boolean to a string within a list in Python

Question

I have a list

 list = ['MANAGEMENT (1) (Distributor)',False,'Worker(1) (Distributor)',]

I need to remove the boolean and change it to a string

 list = ['MANAGEMENT (1) (Distributor)','False','Worker(1) (Distributor)',]

I have tied to use (str) but this does not work. I have a feeling I need to use list comprehension but I am not sure how to set that up.

I would avoid using list as a variable name, since it is a reserved word — brunoff

How is it that str "does not work"? It works fine for me. You didn't post your failing attempt, so we can't diagnose that for you. — Prune

A list comprehension would definitely be a way to solve this, by applying str to all the items in it:

lst = [str(i) for i in lst]
