Returns a variable in a Python list with double quotes instead of single quotes

Question

I am trying to return a variable from a list of strings in double quotes, and not alone.

For example, if my list

List = ["A", "B"]

if I type List[0], conclusion 'A'. Rather, I want to "A". Is there any way to do this? I need this because of an external script that runs in ArcGIS that only accepts variables in double quotes.

Answer 1

You can use json.dumps ()

>>> import json
>>> List = ["A", "B"]
>>> print json.dumps(List)
["A", "B"]

Answer 2

If you need an output formatted in a certain way, use something like str.format():

>>> print('"{0}"'.format(List[0]))
"A"
