produces this error

IIRC, per Python DB-API PEP, the DB adapter you use try to escape and
quote any parameter you specified. Please try to use python parameters,
that are "% (param1, param2, ...)", only for values; not for any other

Edit: «% (param1, param2, ...)» part must be replaced with
      «"query_str", param1, param2, ...»

place in the query string.

To summarize, you can only use parameters for values, not keys.
...
ah ok so how do i do it :/

Just don't pass username as parameter to Cursor.execute(), for instance:

cur.execute("CREATE USER %s WITH PASSWORD %s IN GROUP %s"
            % (StaffUserName, NewPassword, StaffGroup))


Regards.

P.S. Please don't forget to CC mailing list next time. Also, -interface
     ml is more appropriate for these kind of questions.


of course, i should have seen that to begin with, cheers.
