=============================================
IAM STRUGGLING WITH IT 2 DAYS NOW AND I CANNOT GET IT TO WORK.
ALL I WANT IT TO DO IS JUST
1. RETRIEVE 3 COLUMNS THAT CONSIST OF 3 LONG STRINGS
2. CONVERT LONG STRINGS TO LISTS
3. ADD SOME CURRENT VALUES TO THOSE LISTS
4. CONVERT FROM LISTS TO LONG STRINGS SO I CAN STORE SUCCESSFULLY LIST
PYTHON DATATYPE TO MYSQL SCALAR STRING.
EVERYHTIGN I TRIED FAILED.
