python - returning large string representation from a list -

i have function takes list of books , returns 1 large string of each book followed newline character.

book = namedtuple('book', 'author title genre year price instock')  book('suzane collins','the hunger games', 'fiction', 2008, 6.96, 20), book('j.k. rowling', "harry potter , sorcerer's stone", 'fantasy', 1997, 4.78, 12) 

i made following function:

def booklist_display(dlist):     item in dlist:         return '{name} {price} {stock}'.format(name=item.name, price=item.price, stock=item.instock) 

but prints first book , not second book.

 suzane collins 6.96 20 

can me understand if have code correct , why function prints first part only? can't seem pin point logic.

in for loop:

for item in dlist:     return '{name} {price} {stock}'.format(name=item.name, price=item.price, stock=item.instock) 

the function exits when loop iterates on first object (because of return).

store result in list , return later:

strlist = [] item in dlist:     strlist.append('{name} {price} {stock}'.format(name=item.name, price=item.price, stock=item.instock)) return '\n'.join(strlist)
