How to remove formatting in python

Question

is it possible to remove all the formatting from an output

currently i get the values :

 ((4,), (4,), (88, 59, 21, 38))

displayed in the terminal, however is there a way to strip away the brackets so i only get the values ?

I know it should be simple but cant see to find it on google

Thanks

to get this i am using the command :

print "Header : ",  circ_id, command, ip

where where circ_id etc have been derived from earlier on in the application from unpacking a packet for example the ip was derived from :

ip = struct.unpack(byte_string, payload[start:end])

so i guess the question is how in python can you merge various tuples into a single tuple ?

Answer 1

Use a format string.

In [1]: circ_id, command, ip = (4,), (4,), (88, 59, 21, 38)

In [2]: fs = "Header: {}, {}, {}.{}.{}.{}"

In [3]: print fs.format(circ_id[0], command[0], ip[0], ip[1], ip[2], ip[3])
Header: 4, 4, 88.59.21.38

Answer 2

One more if I the input is string

import re
re.sub('.', lambda m : {'(':'',')':''}.get(m.group(),m.group()),'((4,),(4,),(88,59,21,38))')

Answer 3

>>> new = []
>>> a
((4,), (4,), (88, 59, 21, 38))
>>> for i in a:
...     for j in i:
...         new.append(j)
... 
>>> new
[4, 4, 88, 59, 21, 38]

>>> #If you want result back in tuple

... 
>>> tuple(new)
(4, 4, 88, 59, 21, 38)
