# Python program to manipulate a list 
# by Marcel Iseli

# initialize the variable with a list of words

word1= raw_input()

text = ['Dies', 'ist', 'ein', 'kleiner', 'Text', 'ohne', 'Umlautzeichen', 
    ',', 'der', 'schon', 'in', 'einer', 'Liste', 'gespeichert', 'ist', '.','Er',
    'ist', 'gut', 'geeignet', ',', 'um', 'den',
    'Umgang', 'mit', 'Listen', 'zu', 'verstehen']

# for the list with the name text

for item in text:
    # print the new content of text'

    print 'Bitte enter druecken, um dem Text ein Punkt hinzuzufuegen.'  

    word1 = raw_input()
    text.append('.')
    print text

    print 'Bitte enter druecken, um die Vorkommen vom finiten Verb ist zu zaehlen'

    word1 = raw_input()
    text.count('ist')
    print text

    print 'Bitte enter druecken, um einen weiteren Satz anzufuegen'

    word1 = raw_input()
    text.append('Weils so schoen ist, fuege ich jetzt noch diesen Satz hinzu')
    print text

    print 'Bitte enter druecken, um das Wort gut zu entfernen'

    word1 = raw_input()
    text.remove('gut')  
    print text

    print 'Bitte enter druecken, um das Wort hier einzufuegen.'

    word1 = raw_input()
    text.insert(1, 'hier')
    print text

    print 'Bitte enter druecken, um das Wort dies mit dem Wort das zu ersetzen'

    word1 = raw_input()
    text[0] = 'Das'

    print text

    text.join(text)

    break

The last function that I am using here, text.join(text) is not working. I would like to display the list "text" as regular text with it. Moreover when using text.count, I would like to display the result 3, but with "print text" I can't get this results..the other results appear fine while using "print text". Can somebody help me with this?

You need to store the results of text.count() if you want to display it; the count is not added to the list:

print text.count('ist')

or

ist_count = text.count('ist')
print ist_count

You cannot call .join() on a list, it is a method of strings instead. Given a string to join with, pass in a list. Again, the return value needs to be captured:

joined = ' '.join(text)
print joined

.join() is a function of str objects, not list objects.

dir(str) shows you what you can do with a string and this dir(list) shows you what you can do with a list.

Try:

' '.join(text)

This will join all objects of text with a separator of ' '
