You need to join the fields and the field types. Use zip(). Then join with commas. fields_and_types = ['%s %s' % (field, type) for field, type in zip(fields, types)] what_goes_between_the_parens = ', '.join(fields_and_types) sql = 'create table %s (%s)' % (tablename, what_goes_between_the_parens) See where that gets you.
