str().join() isn't working

[Robert Dailey]

here is a more realized example of the lists I'm trying to join:


_user_includes = [
	"../src",
	"../resource",
	"../inc",
	"../src",
	"../data",
	"../gui",
	"../script",
	"../script/actions",
	"../gui/dispatch",
	"../gui/factories",
	"../gui/frames",
	"../gui/getters",
	"../gui/localization",
	"../gui/player",
	"../gui/setters",
	"../gui/utilities",
	"../sis",
	"../player",
	"../platform/ngi",
	"../../engine",
	"../../engine/audio/NGI",
	"../../engine/io",
	"../../engine/io\NGI",
	"../../engine/math",
	"../../engine/math/fixed",
	"../../engine/path/NGI",
	"../../engine/text/NGI",
	"../../engine/mem",
	"../../engine/text",
	"../../engine/observer",
	"../../sdk/tiny_xml",
	"../../sdk/zlib",
	"../../sdk/lpng",
	"../../sdk/IFDLib/Source/Precompile",

	"../../sdk/IFDlib/Source/OSLib/_NGI",
	"../../sdk/stl-port/NGI",
	"../../sdk/mini-boost/NGI",
	"../../sdk/mini-boost/COMMON",
	]

_system_includes = [
	"../../../../../../Symbian/9.1/NGAGE_SDK_1.1/EPOC32/include",
	"../../../../../../Symbian/9.1/NGAGE_SDK_1.1/EPOC32/include/osextensions/rga",

	]
