Thanks. I initially thought about this but did not know if this is legal syntax.
The following is the updated code taking into account what you suggested and the previous posted.

results = [['1', 0.99921393753233001]]
k = results[0]
print k[0]
print k[1]

a,b = results[0]

print a
print b

x = results[0][0]
y = results[0][1]

print x
print y
