title: Python convert list of multiple words to single words
body: <p>I have a list of words for example:</p>
  
  <p><code>words = ['one','two','three four','five','six seven']</code> # quote was missing</p>
  
  <p>And I am trying to create a new list where each item in the list is just one word so I would have:</p>
  
  <p><code>words = ['one','two','three','four','five','six','seven']</code></p>
  
  <p>Would the best thing to do be join the entire list into a string and then tokenize the string? Something like this:</p>
  
  <p><code>word_string = ' '.join(words)
  tokenize_list = nltk.tokenize(word_string)</code></p>
  
  <p>Or is there a better option?</p>
