NoneType object returned by .fetchone() in MySQLdb

[Arnaud-F. FAUSSE]

Peter,

my code looks similar to
cs = conn.cursor()
cs.execute("select * from mytable;")
cs.fetchone()
but I don't have a cursor problem due to reaching the end of the selected
data.
The object returned is not None but something like that: (125L,), I expect a
tuple of 1 element containing a long integer. In fact the type of this
object is NoneType and not Tuple as expected.
If I do the same with "fetchall", the returned object has a Tuple type.
I will do some captures and send in a next mail.
Regards
Arnaud
