Python convert tuple to string

I have a tuple of characters like such:

('a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'g', 'x', 'r', 'e')

How do I convert it to a string so that it is like:

'abcdgxre'

If just using str() for a tuple as shown below:

t = ('a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'g', 'x', 'r', 'e')

print(t, type(t))

s = str(t) # Here

print(s, type(s))

Only the type can be changed from tuple to str without changing the value as shown below:

('a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'g', 'x', 'r', 'e') <class 'tuple'>
('a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'g', 'x', 'r', 'e') <class 'str'>

This works:

''.join(('a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'g', 'x', 'r', 'e'))

It will produce:

'abcdgxre'

You can also use a delimiter like a comma to produce:

'a,b,c,d,g,x,r,e'

By using:

','.join(('a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'g', 'x', 'r', 'e'))

here is an easy way to use join.

''.join(('a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'g', 'x', 'r', 'e'))

Use str.join:

>>> tup = ('a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'g', 'x', 'r', 'e')
>>> ''.join(tup)
'abcdgxre'
>>>
>>> help(str.join)
Help on method_descriptor:

join(...)
    S.join(iterable) -> str

    Return a string which is the concatenation of the strings in the
    iterable.  The separator between elements is S.
