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.
