My first recommendation would be that you not use "list" as
an identifier, as it's a builtin function. Odd bugs might
start happening if you redefine it.

If I understand correctly what you want, you're looking to
create a string that consists of commas separating each
element of your array. In such case, what you want is
result = ",".join(list_array)
or if you want spaces after your commas, the boringly
trivial modification:
result = ", ".join(list_array)
If instead you want the result as a tuple, you can just use
the tuple() function:
tuple_result = tuple(list_array)
If you want a tuple containing just the one string (which it
strangely seems like your example is doing), you can do
one_string_tuple = (",".join(list_array),)
(note the peculiar "trailing comma in parens creates a
one-element tuple" syntax...it often catches new Python
programmers off-guard)
