I think the reason this doesn't work is that in order to prepare a query
you need to know the parameter types, but you don't know that in Python,
or at least with the way the DB-API works. For example, if you write
cur.execute("SELECT * FROM tbl WHERE a = %s AND b = %s", (val1, val2))
what types will you pass to PQsendQueryParams?
You can make some obvious heuristics, but this sort of thing can get
complicated pretty quickly.
