Split a list of lists

How can I split a list of lists per lines?

list = [['a', 'b', 'c'], ['d', 'e', 'f'], ['g', 'h', 'i']]

into:

a b c  
d e f  
g h i

myList = [['a', 'b', 'c'], ['d', 'e', 'f'], ['g', 'h', 'i']]
for subList in myList:
    print " ".join(subList)

(Note -- don't use reserved words like list or str to name your variables. This will bite you sooner rather than later)

In [11]: lst = [['a', 'b', 'c'], ['d', 'e', 'f'], ['g', 'h', 'i']]

In [12]: print('\n'.join(' '.join(l) for l in lst))
a b c
d e f
g h i

You don't want to split the elements, you want to join them:

>>> lst = [['a', 'b', 'c'], ['d', 'e', 'f'], ['g', 'h', 'i']]
>>> print('\n'.join(' '.join(sublist) for sublist in lst))
a b c
d e f
g h i

Note that list is a terrible name for a variable since it overshadows the built-in list. Therefore, I renamed the variable to lst.

In [1]: mylist = [['a', 'b', 'c'], ['d', 'e', 'f'], ['g', 'h', 'i']]

In [2]: for item in mylist:
   ...:     print ' '.join(item)

a b c
d e f
g h i
