What I want
sentence = ["This","is","a","short","sentence"]
# Desired Output
T h i s
i s
a
s h o r t
s e n t e n c e
>>>
What I tried
sentence = [row.replace[""," "] for row in sentence]
for item in sentence:
print[item]
The problem with this is that it prints a space at the beginning and end of every line but I only want a space between each letter

You could use str.join[]
sentence = ["This","is","a","short","sentence"]
for w in sentence:
print[' '.join[w]]

You could use the facts that a string is a sequence, a sequence can be split into its items with the splat * operator, and and the print function prints items by default separated by spaces. Those three facts can be combined into one short line, print[*word], if word is a string.
So you can use
sentence = ["This","is","a","short","sentence"]
for word in sentence:
print[*word]
This gives the printout
T h i s
i s
a
s h o r t
s e n t e n c e

In this article, we will learn about how to print space or multiple spaces in the Python programming language. Spacing in Python language is quite simple than other programming language. In C languages, to print 10 spaces a loop is used while in python no loop is used to print number of spaces.
Following are the example of the print spaces:
Example 1: A simple way to print spaces
Python3
print["GeeksForGeeks"]
print[' ']
print[" "]
print["Geeks For Geeks"]
Output:
GeeksForGeeks Geeks For Geeks
Example 2: Printing spaces between two values while printing in a single print statement.
Python3
x = 1
y = 2
print["x:",x]
print["y:",y]
print[x,"+",y,"=",x+y]
Output:
x: 1 y: 2 1 + 2 = 3
Example 3: Print multiple spaces between two values.
Python3
print["Geeks"+" "+"For"+" "+"Geeks"]
print["Geeks","For","Geeks"]
print["Geeks"+" "*3+"For"+" "*3+"Geeks"]
print["Geeks"+" "*5+"For"+" "*10+"Geeks"]
Output:
Geeks For Geeks Geeks For Geeks Geeks For Geeks Geeks For Geeks
