如何让pyodbc输出更具可读性/更好？

Question

I'm currently making a discord bot, and one of it's commands involves pulling data from a SQL table, for this I'm using the AioOdbc module, which almost exactly the same as Pyodbc, with the only real difference being that it doesn't block in asynchronous functions.

Which outputs in this format.

[('Item1',),('Item2',)]

How can I have it output something which is a bit nicer to read? Possibly something like

Item1, Item2

Any help is appreciated!

You can turn it into a string where every item is separated by a comma and space with this code:

itemString = ', '.join((item[0] for item in items))

Where items is the name of this: [('Item1',),('Item2',)]

If you need it to be able to take items out from nested lists with arbitrary depth, such as in this list: [('Item1', 'Item2', ('Item3')), ('Item4', 'Item5')] , you can use this code:

from collections import Iterable

def flatten(nested):
    for element in nested:
        if isinstance(element, Iterable) and not isinstance(element, (str, bytes)):
            yield from flatten(element)
        else:
            yield element
