Problem Statement: You are calling a function that returns a list of values when you know that there’s only one result. It will be a singleton list, but you don’t want to bother with that you just want the value of the first element.
Generic solution: put a [0] at the end of the expression:
values = getValues()[0]
Smart solution: Just put a comma (,) at the end of the variable:
values, = getValues()
