Tab Delimited Strings?

[johnywhy]

the following tab-delimits each item

print ("a", "b")
a	b

Is there an equally simple way to build a tab-delimited string, aside from print?

The following creates a tuple, but not a tab-delimited string

myString = ("a", "b")
print (myString)
('a', 'b')

I think i could join with tab char, but that seems clunky and inefficient. I noticed, in my case, i need double-parens so that join sees a single argument.

delimited = "\t".join((str(idx), choice, '\n'))

A for loop seem even more inefficient.

Maybe f strings? Or format method or function?
