What is the best way to print a list on one line with separators?

I am attempting to iterate over a list of strings and print them in one line, using "," as separators. However, contrary to the documentation, the print() function seems to ignore the separator and print the items as if the sep was not included. The code, along with the results, if below:

brothers = ['Larry', 'Harry', 'David']

for brother in brothers: 
    print(brother, sep=', ', end='\n')

Larry
Harry
David

Expected Result: Larry, Harry, David

You have to provide all the values in the same call. This will work:

brothers = ['Larry', 'Harry', 'David']
print(*brothers, sep=', ', end='\n')

Quoting from https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#print "Print objects to the text stream file"

You're looking for join:

print ", ".join(brothers)
