Transform “list of tuples” into a flat list or a matrix

Question

With Sqlite, a \"select..from\" command returns the results \"output\", which prints (in python):

>>print output
[(12.2817, 12.2817), (0, 0), (8.52, 8.         


        

Answer 1

>>> flat_list = []
>>> nested_list = [(1, 2, 4), (0, 9)]
>>> for a_tuple in nested_list:
...     flat_list.extend(list(a_tuple))
... 
>>> flat_list
[1, 2, 4, 0, 9]
>>> 

you could easily move from list of tuple to single list as shown above.
