I have the following:

```
tableNumber = session.query(TABLE.TABLESNUMBER).filter_by(TABLESID=self.TABLESID).first()         
return str(tableNumber)

```

This is my `TABLE` class:

```
class TABLE(Base):

    ....   

    TABLESID = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
    TABLESNUMBER = Column(Integer, nullable=False)

    ...

```

This is the output I am receiving:

```
(1L,)

```

In my `mySQL database`, all both values above are represented as `ints`.

I would just like `1` to be returned.
