Is there a built-in method for transforming (1,None,"Hello!") to
1,None,"Hello!"?

Thanks

What transformation? The two are identical:

>>> x = (1,None,"Hello!")
>>> y = 1,None,"Hello!"
>>> x == y
True

do you mean this ? otherwise, don't know what you want.

a, b, c = (1, None, "Hello!")

There's no conversion to do:

>>> (1,None,"Hello!")
(1, None, 'Hello!')
>>> 1,None,"Hello!"
(1, None, 'Hello!')

They are both tuples contining identicle elements. What is it that you
want to do?

You're mentioning two different literal syntaxes for the same object (a
tuple) -- the one with parentheses works everywhere, the other one
_almost_ everywhere (not where parentheses would be ambiguous).

Not sure, therefore, what you mean by "transforming" here; if you're
dealing with a string for in either case, for example, you could remove
the first and last characters by slicing with [1:-1], etc, etc. Perhaps
you can clarify exactly what you're asking for!

As others answered before, the two syntaxes build the same object, so
there is no need to convert.

Except if you already have the tuple stored in a variable, and want to
call a function with the tree arguments:
args = (1,None,"Hello!")

func(args) # equivalent to func((1,None,"Hello!"))
func(*args) # equivalent to func(1,None,"Hello!")

Note the '*' on the second call, it will flatten the args, and 3
arguments are passed to the function.
