How to send Array to a text box with Python selenium scripting?

The code which i have written to send the an array list to a text-box in my internal site. Where the input to array is from excel.

value = [] // ArrayList
while len(value)<1000:
    Data=sheet.row(loop)
    T1 = Data[1].value
    T2=int(T1) // to remove float values
    T2 = str(T2) // as the text-box is only accepting the strings
    value.append(T2)
    loop += 1 //to read the next row in the excel sheet.
    driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="operand.action_(id=7)"]').send_keys(values[0:])

Format of values sending to text-box is: ['40554666', '40554539', '40554762', '40554806']

This is giving me an error because the above code is sending the values to the text-box in a wrong format where i need to remove " '' " and " [] " The Text-box can only take the numbers separated by comma or numbers in new line.

Note : I have tried to send one element at a time but that is not effective solution for my site. That is the reason i am trying to send 1k values at a time.

Can someone please help me here ?

That's what an array of string looks like when you print the array itself in python. You need to loop through the array use one element at a time.

mylist = ['1','2','3']
print(mylist)

This prints ['1', '2', '3']

You want

for list_item in mylist:
    print(list_item)

and that prints

1
2
3

More specifically

for list_item in mylist:
    ...
    driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="operand.action_(id=7)"]').send_keys(list_item)

Side note: If all you are using is the ID, why use XPath? Just use

driver.find_element_by_id('operand.action_(id=7)')
