Create string with placeholder character

Is there a one liner in python that will give me the same result as below? All I need to supply is a int value and then it return a string using @.

results in a string with '@' appended for each loop.

padding = ''
for x in range(5): 
    padding += '@'
print padding

Results:

@@@@@

If this is in the middle of some other formatting, you might use something like:

'{:@<{}}'.format('', 5)

(the inner {} expands to 5 before the outer formatting applies)

Yes, strings are sequence types, so the easiest way is:

print '@'*5
