Python provides string module for manipulating given string efficiently including string.join. On the other hand, each string object has join method to act like the separator of given strings. However, I have just found another form of the join in Cookie.py in Python 2.5. For example, below codes are similar.

string.join(['a','b','c'],' ')
' '.join(['a','b','c'])

It would be more readable to define function as follow.

_nulljoin = ''.join
_semispacejoin = '; '.join
_spacejoin = ' '.join

So the use above example should be changed.

_spacejoin(['a','b','c'])
