But is is not working.

> str.join( ('a','b'))

Python 2.4.1 (#1, Mar 31 2005, 09:19:04) 
[GCC 3.2.2] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> str.join(('a','b'))
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
TypeError: descriptor 'join' requires a 'str' object but received a 'tuple'
>>> str.join('a','bcdefg')
'bacadaeafag'
>>> str().join(('a','b'))
'ab'

Kind regards
