Tuple conversion to a string

Question

I have the following list:

[('Steve Buscemi', 'Mr. Pink'), ('Chris Penn', 'Nice Guy Eddie'), ...]

I need to convert it to a string in the following format:

"(Steve Buscemi, Mr. Pink), (Chris Penn, Nice Guy Eddit), ..."

I tried doing

str = ', '.join(item for item in items)

but run into the following error:

TypeError: sequence item 0: expected string, tuple found

How would I do the above formatting?

Answer 1

', '.join('(' + ', '.join(i) + ')' for i in L)

Output:

'(Steve Buscemi, Mr. Pink), (Chris Penn, Nice Guy Eddie)'
