How to Modify a String in wx.StaticText?

Question

I have a tuple: ('a',1)

When I use wx.StaticText to show it, it is always displayed like this: ('a',1)

How do I make it display like this: (a,1) ?

Note: It has to be a tuple. For some reason when I set a string to be a tuple it is always recorded along with the quotes. So:

a = (str(hello),1)

And if you print a you get:

>>>print a
('hello',1)

Instead of passing the tuple object directly, pass a string formatted:

>>> a = ('a', 1)

Using % operator:

>>> '(%s, %s)' % a
'(a, 1)'

>>> '%s, %s' % a  # without parentheses
'a, 1'

Using str.format:

>>> '({0[0]}, {0[1]})'.format(a)
'(a, 1)'
>>> '({}, {})'.format(*a)
'(a, 1)'

>>> '{0[0]}, {0[1]}'.format(a)   # without parentheses
'a, 1'
>>> '{}, {}'.format(*a)          # without parentheses
'a, 1'
