Back again on f-strings
#3
def print_nicely(iterable):
    iterable =  list(map(str, iterable))
    if len(iterable) > 1:
        print(f"'{', '.join(iterable[:-1])} and {iterable[-1]}'")
    elif len(iterable) ==  1:
        print(f"'{iterable[0]}'")
    else:
        raise ValueError('Expecting non-empty iterable')

print_nicely(['apples', 'bananas', 'tofu', 'cats']) # print list
print_nicely(['bird']) # print single element list
print_nicely(range(4)) # print range object
print_nicely([])
Output:
'apples, bananas, tofu and cats' 'bird' '0, 1, 2 and 3' Traceback (most recent call last): File "***", line 13, in <module> print_nicely([]) File "***", line 8, in print_nicely raise ValueError('Expecting non-empty iterable') ValueError: Expecting non-empty iterable
by the way i may have seen a package on PyPI that does it but cannot find it at the moment
