Python – alias str.join in python

Is it possible to add an alias for str.join in python3?

For example:

a=['a','b','c']
j=str.join
''.j(a)

It can still be done

' '.j(a)

Use the same alias or a more generic alias to be able to use it like this:

string_here.j(iterable here)

Not exactly what you want the syntax, but close enough :

>>> a=['a','b','c']
>>> j=str.join
>>> j('', a)
'abc'
>>> j(' ', a)
'a b c'

str.join is an unbound (bind) method. To apply it to an object, you need to specify the object as the first parameter.
