Removing values from list python, without square brackets

Removing values from list python, without square brackets

Does anyone know how I can remove some vaue from inside of tuple square
brackets.
I have something like
def fun:
val1=re.findall(pattern1, html_stuff)
val2=re.findall(pattern2, html_stuff)
return val1,val2
mylist=fun()
print mylist[0]
print mylist[1]
this will return
['stuff']
['more stuff']
I can't find out how to remove 'stuff' from []
