Modify multidimensional array (Python)

Question

I append items from a database to an array, like that (I need the 0 in front):

tmpArray = [0]
sql = "SELECT value FROM employees;"
c.execute(sql)
rows = c.fetchall()
for row in rows:
 tmpArray.append([row[0]])

Output is like that:

tmpArray = [0, ["xxx"], ["yyy"], ["zzz"]]

I need the Array surrounded by brackets like that:

tmpArray = [(0, ["xxx"], ["yyy"], ["zzz"])]

How can I achieve this or how can I modify the current array, so I get the result that I want? Thank you for helping. The script that I want to use needs the data exactly like that.

• Mateen Ulhaq: tuple(xs) will convert any list (or rather, iterable) xs to a tuple.

You could try with this:

tmpArray = [0, ["xxx"], ["yyy"], ["zzz"]]
tmpArray=[tuple(tmpArray)]
print(tmpArray)
