Creating a list of points

Scripting
1

Hi, I am trying to make a list of start & end points of a selected polycurve. I am using a for-loop to iterate through each segment of the polycurve and add the start & end points to the list. If I print just the variable, it gives me just the points which is fine, but when I add them to the list, I get the something like – > Rhino.Geometry.Point3d object at xxxxx… before the point coordinates. Why do I get the extra info and how do I get rid of it? Thanks.

import rhinoscriptsyntax as rs

strC01 = rs.GetObject("Pick first curve", 4)
    
intNumOfCrvs01 = rs.PolyCurveCount(strC01)

pointList = []

for i in range(0,intNumOfCrvs01):
    
    dblCrvStartPoint = rs.CurveStartPoint(strC01,i)
    dblCrvEndPoint = rs.CurveEndPoint(strC01,i)
    pointList.append (dblCrvStartPoint)
    pointList.append (dblCrvEndPoint)

print(dblCrvEndPoint)
print(pointList)

Here is the Output:

Hi Brandon, you might print the list like below to get rid of the type:

for pt in pointList: print(pt)

That worked perfectly! Thanks clement!
