I keep thinking of something else just after I have posted - sorry about 
that.

When you say you print the list, maybe you are literally doing the 
following -
    print(list)

In that case, the solution is to turn it into a list comprehension, and 
apply str() to each item -
    print([str(item) for item in list])
