Concatenating Tuple

Question

Suppose I have a list:

a=[1,2,3,4,5]  

Now I want to convert this list into a tuple. I thought coding something like this would do:

Answer 1

state=()  
for i in a:  
    state=state+(i,)

The above code will work out to concatenate each time a new tuple (i,) into tuple state.

I am using python 2.7.9.
