The u prefix indicates that the string is an Unicode string. If you're sure that the string is a basic ASCII string, you can transform the unicode string into a non-unicode one with a simple str().

Example :

unicode_foo = u"foo"
print unicode_foo
>>> u"foo"

print str(unicode_foo)
>>> "foo"

In your case, with a list of tuples, you'll have to do such with a python list comprehension :

ar = [[str(item) for item in results] for results in cur.fetchall()]

Where results is the list of tuples returned by fetchall, and item are the members of the tuples.
