===== Output =====


Get output from MySQL in the form of a Tuple and return it 
without any html encoding, ie. just as a json object. It has a 200 hard coded, but it might be wise to check that the result from MySQL is sensible and justifies a 200 return.


<code python>
mycursor = mydb.cursor()
mycursor.execute(sql)
user_id = mycursor.fetchone()  # returns a tuple
lookup_userid = {"userid":user_id[0]}

response = make_response(jsonify({"id": str(lookup_userid) }), 200,)
response.headers["Content-Type"] = "application/json"
return response
