Storing MySQL BIT Data Type data in python variable

[krushna]

I have to store the 2nd value and then add a condition e.g.

if 2nd_value == 'None':
   online_status='offline'
elif 2nd_value == 0 :
   online_status='Offline'
elif 2nd_value == 1
   online_status='Online'

Here the issue is the query is failing with below code when the value is None .

2nd_value=(ord(records[0][1]))

Let me know if any better approach to get my task done .
