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'

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.

here is an easy way to use join.
''.join(('a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'g', 'x', 'r', 'e'))

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'))

Of course it works. It was marked as the accepted answer 5 years before you posted.
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 comment does not convert to
'abcdgxre' as asked...
reduce(add, ('a', 'b', 'c', 'd'))addin this exmple @GrijeshChauhan?addfunction fromoperatormodule. Btw"".joinbetter suits here but if you want to add different types of objects you can use add Check this working example({'entities': [[44, 58, 'VESSEL'], [123, 139, 'VESSEL'], [146, 163, 'COMP'], [285, 292, 'ADDR'], [438, 449, 'ADDR'], [452, 459, 'ADDR']]},)
