Question

What I’m trying to do is create a list of pure strings from a

cur.fetchall() 

query.

I’ve read a few similar type answers on Stack and they don’t work. I know it’s only unicode and if you print the data it was print the str but I’m using this query to populate a wx.choice

i’ve used a list comprehension to append the str to a new list and that doesn’t work either. I’m also trying to take the string out of the tuple.

How do I get a pure string list

['one','two','three']

from a returned query

[(u'one'),(u'one'),(u'three)]

so i can use a wx.choice the way I’m sure it was meant to be used

Answer 1

[str(u) for u in [(u'one'),(u'one'),(u'three')]]

So what we do is using the function str on every element to get the desired result of ['one','two','three'] .
