How do I use collocation() to store it as a list

Question

I have to save the bigram collocations as a list in a variable but unable to do it with collocation(). I need to later return the variable from a function.

Provide please some short, reproducible code example. It will be easier for all to help you then. — dankal444, Sep 03 '20 at 09:20
I am actually using a=nltk.Text(tokenizedwords).collocations() but it ends up printing instead of getting stored in a as a list. What can I do? — Suchetha Suresh, Sep 03 '20 at 20:33

Try collocation_list() instead, collocations() is printing as it was designed to.

a=nltk.Text(tokenizedwords).collocation_list()
