Printing the alphabet on one line python

Question

How can I print the alphabet on one line using chr(), with each letter seperated by a space.

My current code:

for x in range(97,123):
    letter = chr(x)
    alphabet = "" + letter
    print alphabet

We have to use `chr`, so the solution is: `import string; print ' '.join(chr(ord(c)) for c in string.ascii_lowercase)` — Matthias, Nov 05 '14 at 12:48
@PM 2Ring: Well the standard way to do it (with Python 3) would be `import functools; import operator; import string; print(functools.reduce(operator.add, map(lambda x: x+' ', string.ascii_lowercase)))`, but a solution with `chr` was required. ;-) — Matthias, Nov 05 '14 at 13:13
@Matthias Nice. And some people say Germans don't have a sense of humour... — PM 2Ring, Nov 05 '14 at 13:18
Are you allowed to use a list comprehension (like in Matt's answer) or do you have to use a `for` loop? — PM 2Ring, Nov 05 '14 at 13:39

import string
print " ".join(string.lowercase)

Or if the use of chr is mandatory, as mentioned in the comments:

print " ".join([chr(c) for c in xrange(ord('a'), ord('z') + 1)])

I must admit your 1st solution is cool - I don't think I've ever noticed `.join()` being used with a string argument before, but of course it makes perfect sense, since strings are iterable. – PM 2Ring Nov 05 '14 at 13:37
