[FIXED] Joining a list into a string

Issue

import os
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup as bs
from datetime import date, timedelta
import requests
import pprint
import re
import pyperclip


#We need from 2017.11.1 to 2023.10.26
#The format for this particular html is 'mmddyy'
def daterange(start_date, end_date):
    for n in range(int((end_date - start_date).days)):
        yield start_date + timedelta(n)

start_date = date(2017,11,1)
end_date = date(2023,10,27)

archive_date_range_list = []
for single_date in daterange(start_date, end_date):
    x = (single_date.strftime("%m%d%y"))
    archive_date_range_list.append(x)

new_list_dates = ','.join([x for x in archive_date_range_list])
new_list_dates = new_list_dates.split(",")

new_list_dates

#Little River Outfitters website URL with the archive date variable
#we need the format URL1+"date"+URL2
URL1 = [r'https://littleriveroutfitters.com/WEBSITE-2008/pages/fishing/']
URL2 = [r'.htm']

#loop to configure the particular website
website_dates_list = []
for i in new_list_dates:
    x1 = URL1,i,URL2
    website_dates_list.append(x1)

website_dates_list

So I have the list :

['https://littleriveroutfitters.com/WEBSITE-2008/pages/fishing/', 102623,'.htm']

however, I need to join them all to make: ['https://littleriveroutfitters.com/WEBSITE-2008/pages/fishing/102623.htm']

I might be confusing myself, but I have tried .join and I am messing it up more. I have tried: ''.join(str(website_dates_list))

I was anticipating: ['https://littleriveroutfitters.com/WEBSITE-2008/pages/fishing/102623.htm']

Yet I received: ['https://littleriveroutfitters.com/WEBSITE-2008/pages/fishing/'...102523,102623...and so on'.htm']

Solution

IIUC, is this what you want?

pages = range(102623, 102630, 1)
baseurl = 'https://littleriveroutfitters.com/WEBSITE-2008/pages/fishing/'

my_url_list= [''.join(map(str, [baseurl, p, '.htm'])) for p in pages]

my_url_list

Output:

['https://littleriveroutfitters.com/WEBSITE-2008/pages/fishing/102623.htm',
 'https://littleriveroutfitters.com/WEBSITE-2008/pages/fishing/102624.htm',
 'https://littleriveroutfitters.com/WEBSITE-2008/pages/fishing/102625.htm',
 'https://littleriveroutfitters.com/WEBSITE-2008/pages/fishing/102626.htm',
 'https://littleriveroutfitters.com/WEBSITE-2008/pages/fishing/102627.htm',
 'https://littleriveroutfitters.com/WEBSITE-2008/pages/fishing/102628.htm',
 'https://littleriveroutfitters.com/WEBSITE-2008/pages/fishing/102629.htm']
