Python - how to remove commas, square brackets and quotation marks from list

Question

How do I remove the quote marks and commas and brackets from this result:

    encrypt = input("enter your string: ")
    encrypt = encrypt.replace(" ","")
    encrypt_list = [encrypt[i:i+5] for i in range(0, len(encrypt), 5)]
    print (encrypt)
    print (encrypt_list)

If the input was: 5 blocks of text test

The output is: ['5bloc', 'ksoft', 'extte', 'st']

I need it to be: 5bloc ksoft extte st

I'm not sure I get the question. Are you aware that you have a list of strings and none of those strings contains a comma, bracket or quotation mark? Your expected result is a syntax error. Do you mean the string `'5bloc ksoft extte st'`? — timgeb, Jan 22 '16 at 12:11
Knowing what the basic types look like is basic research. Please put in a bit more effort before asking a question. — TigerhawkT3, Jan 22 '16 at 12:30

You can use str.join, like this:

>>> s = ' '.join(['5bloc', 'ksoft', 'extte', 'st'])
>>> print(s)
5bloc ksoft extte st
