how to get the formatted output

Question

Hi i'm using the python and odbc database i.e Microsoft access. I'm getting the output like

(u'EXPANDx TB', 12.0, 10.0, 11.0, 13.0, 0.0, 46.0)
(u'EXPANDx TB & GFATM', 1.0, 1.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 3.0)
(u'EXPANDx TB & NRHM', 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0)
(u'GFATM', 1.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 2.0)
(u'WHO', 3.0, 7.0, 3.0, 5.0, 0.0, 18.0)
(u'GFATM & EXPANDx TB', 1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0)

the extra term "u" is displaying. I also used the join function but getting the error like

print ",".join(table1)
TypeError: sequence item 1: expected string or Unicode, float found
 please help me out with this. Thanks in advance. 


 #!/usr/bin/python
 import pyodbc

 db_file = r'''C:\Users\Basavaraj\Documents\C&DST.accdb'''
 user = ''
 password = ''
 odbc_conn_str = 'DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb, *.accdb)};DBQ=%s;UID=%s;PWD=%s' % \
            (db_file, user, password)
 conn= pyodbc.connect(odbc_conn_str)
 #for row in cursor.fetchall():
 #   print row[2]
try:
    cursor = conn.cursor()
    cursor.execute("select * from Table1")
    for table1 in cursor.fetchall():
    print ",".join(table1)

finally:
    conn.close()

Just convert each item to string.

print ",".join(str(i) for i in table1)

If you want to keep the unicode items as is, then :

print ",".join(str(i) if not isinstance(i, unicode) else i for i in table1)
