How do I get rid of the spaces between the characters in the output using a print(), statement in a loop?

Here's the code that I have.

secretMessageList = [68, 111, 110, 116, 32, 100, 101, 99, 111, 100, 101, 32, 116, 104, 105, 115, 32, 109, 101, 115, 115, 97, 103, 101, 32, 111, 114, 32, 101, 108, 115, 101, 33]
for c in secretMessageList:
    print chr(c),

And then the output looks like this.

D o n t   d e c o d e   t h i s   m e s s a g e   o r   e l s e !

Is there any way to make the output instead look like this?

Dont decode this message or else!

I tried looking up if there's any way to do this but haven't found anything.

Instead of printing each character, you could first make a string of all the elements and then print the result.

print(''.join(map(chr, [68, 111, 110, 116, 32, 100, 101, 99, 111, 100, 101, 32, 116, 104, 105, 115, 32, 109, 101, 115, 115, 97, 103, 101, 32, 111, 114, 32, 101, 108, 115, 101, 33])))

map(chr, values) has a result that is "almost the same" as [chr(c) for c in values]. The returned value from map() (map object) then can be passed to functions like list() (to create a list), set() (to create a set) or use it directly in join.

A better readable solution would be

ints = [68, 111, 110, 116, 32, 100, 101, 99, 111, 100, 101, 32, 116, 104, 105, 115, 32, 109, 101, 115, 115, 97, 103, 101, 32, 111, 114, 32, 101, 108, 115, 101, 33]
characters = [chr(c) for c in ints]
string = ''.join(characters)
print(string)

In python 2.x, the print method should be written without brackets, so you may need to remove those (because you tagged your question with python-2.7). For Python 3 and up, print does require brackets.

Happy coding, good luck!

Maybe

print(''.join([chr(c) for c in secretMessageList]))

The simplest is just to change the character print ends with:

secretMessageList = [68, 111, 110, 116, 32, 100, 101, 99, 111, 100, 101, 32, 116, 104, 105, 115, 32, 109, 101, 115, 115, 97, 103, 101, 32, 111, 114, 32, 101, 108, 115, 101, 33]
for c in secretMessageList:
    print(chr(c), end='') #<<

chr every item in your list then join them into string:

secretMessageList = [68, 111, 110, 116, 32, 100, 101, 99, 111, 100, 101, 32, 116, 104, 105, 115, 32, 109, 101, 115, 115, 97, 103, 101, 32, 111, 114, 32, 101, 108, 115, 101, 33]
a="".join(list(chr(i) for i in secretMessageList))
print(a)
