[Tutor] annoying directory structure

[Jim Mooney]

Looks like I can work it, but some walk paths are coming out as two strings
back to back, which I know python concatenates with print, but how do I
concatenate them without print so I can use them in my script to append to
the mp4 filenames and have a windows readable path?. i.e., I am getting
this sort of triplet when I go through the generator. After doing that the
rest seems easy enough:

A = ('I:\\VIDS\\Learn Python Track\\07. Regular Expressions in
Python\\Stage '
 '1\\01. Introduction to Regular Expressions\\07. Compiling and Loops',
 [],
 ['Compiling and Loops.mp4', 'Compiling and Loops.srt'])

>> A[0]

('I:\\VIDS\\Learn Python Track\\07. Regular Expressions in Python\\Stage '
 '1\\01. Introduction to Regular Expressions\\07. Compiling and Loops')

Still two unconcatenated strings

And why do I still have tuple parentheses for A[0], which should be a
concatenated string?
