I have many lists which looks like

['it']
['was']
['annoying']

I want the above to look like

['it', 'was', 'annoying']

How do I achieve that?


import itertools
ab = itertools.chain(['it'], ['was'], ['annoying'])
list(ab)

Just another method....


Just add them:

['it'] + ['was'] + ['annoying']

You should read the Python tutorial to learn basic info like this.


a = ['it']
b = ['was']
c = ['annoying']

a.extend(b)
a.extend(c)

# a now equals ['it', 'was', 'annoying']
