title: Python re.findall prints output as list instead of string
body: <p>My re.findall search is matching and returning the right string, but when I try to print the result, it prints it as a list instead of a string.  Example below:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&gt; line =  ID=id5;Parent=rna1;Dbxref=GeneID:653635,Genbank:NR_024540.1,HGNC:38034;gbkey=misc_RNA;gene=WASH7P;product=WAS protein family homolog 7 pseudogene;transcript_id=NR_024540.1
  
  &gt; print re.findall(r'gene=[^;\n]+', line)
  
  &gt;     ['gene=WASH7P']
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I would like the print function just to return <code>gene=WASH7P</code> without the brackets and parentheses around it.  </p>
  
  <p>How can I adjust my code so that it prints just the match, without the brackets and parentheses around it?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you!  </p>
