Interactive mode makes it really easy to test before posting.

 >>> "".join(list(range(10)))

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<pyshell#0>", line 1, in <module>
     "".join(list(range(10)))
TypeError: sequence item 0: expected string, int found

 >>> "".join(str(i) for i in range(10))
'0123456789'
