Python string list to string

Question

I am doing something painfuly simple, and rather than looping over the list, and += everything, I was wondering if there was a "sleezier" way to do it.

Simple concept I have something like:

some_string_array = [  "s", "t", "a", "c", "k", " ", "o", "v", "e", "r", "f", "l", "o","w" ]
some_string = some_string_array.--sleezy built-in flatten--() 
print(some_string)

And the result would be simply stack overflow

I am sure it is painfuly simple, but I couldn't find a good way to search for this online.

Thanks.

IMO, the solution @Sven Marnach provided is elegant, rather than sleazy. — GreenMatt
