Well, Paul, just knowing you were on the job inspired me and I finally
realized the dumb thing I'd done. The list I'm iterating, urls, comes from
a single-column MySQL results list, so it's a list of tuples (url,), not
strings. That's why I open url[0], rather than just url in the first line
inside the loop. I was smart enough to do that, but not smart enough to
remember to use url[0], rather than url, in the INSERT statement. So I was
trying to insert a tuple, not a string, and thus MySQL barfed.

By the way, what helped me figure this out was switching the column names
and values, which changed the string in the error message to "))", rather
than the start of the HTML doc. That's when I realized the problem was
something about url, not the HTML.
This one has bitten me before, but it's been a long time...
