How to remove multiple values from a tuple in python

I have a tuple which is an output of a select query. The tuple looks like this:

('checkStatus id \n========================= ==================== \nfalse adcs-fddf-sdsd \n', None)

I am trying to retrieve only the two values i.e. false and adcs-fddf-sdsd

This is the code:

import subprocessdef foo():  cmd = return ("select checkStatus , id from abc")   pr = subprocess.Popen(cmd, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, shell=TRUE)  output = pr.communicate()  print(output)          //('checkStatus id              \n=========================                          //      ==================== \nfalse adcs-fddf-sdsd \n', None)

Now, I found out that I can use replace to remove the unwanted white space using str(output).replace('', ''). So, for all the other details also I will have to add multiple replace statements. So, is there a better way to retrieve only those 2 values (false and adcs-fddf-sdsd) .

NOTE The code has to be compatible for both Python version 2 and 3.
