strange return on python

I am writing an application on PyCharm in Python 2.6.6 and a strange return appears in this section:

if VAR1 != row2:
                    print "Hostname: %s" %VARNAME
                    print "Status 1: %s" %VAR1
                    print "Status 2: %s" %row2
                    print "%s != %s" % (VAR1, row2)

Return:

Hostname: SERV01
Status 1: 3
Status 2: 3
3 != (3L,)

Does somebody know what's happening here?
