title: Adding spaces to items in list (Python)
body: <p>I'm a Python noob and I need some help for a simple problem.</p>
  
  <p>What I need to do is create a list with 3 items and add spaces before and after every item.</p>
  
  <p>For example: <code>l1 = ['a', 'bb', 'c']</code><br>
  should be transformed into: <code>['  a  ','  bb  ','  c  ']</code></p>
  
  <p>I was trying to write something like this: </p>
  
  <pre><code>lst = ['a', 'bb', 'c']
  for a in lst:
      print '  a  '
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>...and so on for the other elements, but I get a syntax error.
  Can anyone suggest me a working way to do this? Thanks.</p>
