Python: converting list of strings into a string which illustrates the list

I’m searching a simple method for converting a list of strings (e.g. ['test 1', 'test 2' , 'test 3'] ) into a string whereby the list of objects doesn’t have some quotation mark. That means in our example ('[test 1, test 2, test 3]'). My first approach was:

import json
A = ['test 1', 'test 2' , 'test 3']
test = json.dumps(A).replace('"', '')

Is their a more general way without that replace statement at the background? Cause my problem with that is, that e.g.

A = ['test 1', 'test 2' , 'test 3"AA"']

results in the string:

   '[test 1, test 2, test 3AA]'

and not the desired string:

'[test 1, test 2, test 3"AA"]'

Answer

Try f-strings:

>>> print(f"'[{', '.join(A)}]'")
'[test 1, test 2, test 3"AA"]'

# OR

>>> print(f"[{', '.join(A)}]")
[test 1, test 2, test 3"AA"]
