I have list like :

To turn a list into a string, like 0buz mentions you should use the join() method of string objects.

", ".join(Input)

To quote strings with spaces in them, you can use a list comprehension to create a copy of the list with the necessary changes:

[ f'"{s}"' if ' ' in s else s for s in Input]

This iterates over each item s in the list Input, checking if ' ' (a space) is in the item. If it is, we concatenate a " to the beginning and end of the s and then append it to our list. Otherwise, we just append the item s unchanged.

Putting them together:

Output = ", ".join([ f'"{s}"' if ' ' in s else s for s in Input])

You can try something like this : 

Input=['Name', 'Friendly Name', 'Place']
Input = ['"' + name + '"' if name.count(' ') > 0 else name for name in Input ]
", ".join(Input)

#result : 'Name, "Friendly Name", Place'
