l = [1,2,3]
tuple(l)
(1, 2, 3)

But its not that, os.path.join joins the separate arguments, not a list
or tuple. You can do what you had in mind by (ab)using the new *args
passthrough trick. Ie.

def fn(filename):
    return os.path.join(*string.split(filename, '/'))

The * here does what apply does with its non-keyword arguments. Look up
apply in the docs to get a better idea of what I mean.
