How to convert single element tuple into string?

I have this code:

 import nltk
 import pypyodbc

 text = raw_input()
 token = nltk.word_tokenize(text) //return a list value


def search(self, lists):
    if not self.connected:
        self.connect()
    for word in lists:
        self.cur.execute('SELECT Ybanag FROM Words WHERE English IN (%s)' % (','.join('?'*len(lists))), lists)
        result = self.cur.fetchall()
        return result

wherein the output is a list of single element tuple (ex. I enter we all there): [('tore',), ('ngaming',), ('sittam',)] (translate the input into mother tongue language). I want that the output will be converted into string to eliminate the [],(),'',' symbols. How to convert it into string?

I would just use a for loop. You can loop through the list of tuples and add each element to an empty string variable

x = [('tore'), ('ngaming'), ('sittam')]
z = ""
for i in x:
    z = z + i + " "

print z

After seeing Lafada's answer, I realized that list comprehension and str.join is the best option. Though his answer is better, this is basically what his answer does, just done more manually.

You have to use str.join method.

>>> a = [('tore',), ('ngaming',), ('sittam',)]
>>> " ".join([x[0] for x in a])
'tore ngaming sittam'
