Problem applying conditions against results back from a database

[card51shor]

Hey guys I'm trying to compare user input with what's in the database to see if they can login or not.

I'm getting a list back from the input and it's adding paranthesis and commas and apostrophes to each value so it's not matching up when compared.

How can I get rid of these extra special characters?

Thanks

@app.route("/login", methods=["GET","POST"])
def login():
    password = request.form.get("password")
    username = request.form.get("username")
    usernamedata = db.execute("SELECT username FROM users WHERE username=:username", {"username":username}).fetchone()
    passworddata = db.execute("SELECT password FROM users WHERE username=:username", {"username":username}).fetchone()
    print(usernamedata)
    print(passworddata)
    print(username)
    print(password)
    if username == usernamedata and password == passworddata:
        return render_template("login.html")
    else:
        return render_template("login.html")
