How do I print a list without square brackets in python

Question

I have an external .csv file which I read into a 2 dimensional list, sort it, then print it. I don't want the square brackets when it prints, how do I get rid of them?

def bubbleSort(hi):
    for passnum in range(len(hi)-1,0,-1):
        for i in range(passnum):
            if hi[i]>hi[i+1]:
                temp = hi[i]
                hi[i] = hi[i+1]
                hi[i+1] = temp

hi =[]

with open('winners.csv', 'r') as textfile:
    for row in reversed(list(csv.reader(textfile))):

        #create the file into an array

        hi.append(row)

#initiate the bubble sort on the array 

bubbleSort(hi)

# print the top 5 winners

for i in range(5):
    print(hi[i])

gives the output:

[score, name]
[score, name]
[score, name]
[score, name]
[score, name]

i would just like to be rid of the brackets if possible. so it looks like:

score, name
score, name
score, name
score, name
score, name

To what purpose are you printing the list? For an end user? Then print the contens of the list, not the list itself. — Martijn Pieters, Oct 05 '18 at 14:34

You have a few options if this is just to print the contents at the once your code is completed.

lista = [1, 2, 3]

print(' '.join([str(i) for i in lista]))
print(*lista)
for i in lista:
    print(i, end = ' ')
