TypeError: аргумент Parse () 1 должен быть строковым или доступным только для чтения буфером, а не кортежем

Я пытаюсь создать веб-сервис для умения Alexa, используя расширение Flask-Ask в python. Этот веб-сервис позволит пользователям запрашивать локальную базу данных MySQL, чтобы узнать информацию о парковке и сделать резервирование парковки.

Я слежу за гидом по адресу https://medium.com/spawn-ai/chat-bots-and-how-to-build-one-on-alexa-35772e429631

Я использую следующие расширения python: flask, flask_ask, MySQL.

Вот код для моего веб-сервиса:

'''This is a Web Service for the Logan Parking skill'''
author__ = '*****'

import logging
from flaskext.mysql import MySQL
from flask import Flask, render_template
from flask_ask import Ask, statement, question

mysql = MySQL()

app = Flask(__name__)
app.config.from_object(__name__)
app.config['MYSQL_DATABASE_USER'] = '*****'
app.config['MYSQL_DATABASE_PASSWORD'] = '*****'
app.config['MYSQL_DATABASE_DB'] = '*****'
app.config['MYSQL_DATABASE_HOST'] = '*****'
mysql.init_app(app)

ask = Ask(app, "/")

logging.getLogger("flask_ask").setLevel(logging.DEBUG)

#on launch of the parking skill, alexa tells the user "Welcome to the prototype Parking skill!"
@ask.launch
def launch():
    welcome_message = 'Welcome to the prototype Parking Skill ! What can I do for you ?'
    return question(welcome_message) \
        .standard_card(title='Parking', 
                       text='Welcome to the prototype Parking Skill ! ',
                       large_image_url='IMG')

#logic for the AvailableParking intent, which at this point tells the user which garages are closed/opened
@ask.intent('AvailableParking')
def available(occupancy):
    #converts the inputted occupancy variable into all caps, to match the DB schema
    occupancy = occupancy.upper()

    #creates cursor variable that connects to DB
    cursor = mysql.connect().cursor()

    #connects to db and executes SQL query that displays all garages where the OCCUPANCY field matches the users slot input (OPEN OR CLOSED)
    cursor.execute("SELECT GARAGE_NAME FROM GARAGES WHERE OCCUPANCY = %s", (occupancy,))

    #stores all result rows from the query in the data variable
    data = cursor.fetchall()
    return statement(data)

#opens a server on localhost5000
if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run(debug=True, port=5000)

И вот сообщение об ошибке:

В частности, эти две строки используются для возврата результатов запроса Alexa.

 #stores all result rows from the query in the data variable
    data = cursor.fetchall()
    return statement(data)

Я просматривал другие вопросы и обнаружил, что cursor.fetchall() возвращает результаты запроса в виде кортежа.

Кто-нибудь знает, как я буду преобразовывать результаты запроса в строку, чтобы я мог вернуть результаты запроса Alexa?
