Strange; can you explain where the text quoted (reilly, Python,
Archive, http://
python.oreilly.com/archive.html) came from, then?
Also I noticed in another message on the list (this one drifted
off-list, due to the poor choice of Reply-To: setting by the list
admins; I'm moving it back) that you had another error:
cursor.execute ("""
INSERT INTO links (Name, URL, category)
VALUES (%s, %s, %s) % tuple(links[0:3])
""")
This should be:
cursor.execute ("""
INSERT INTO links (Name, URL, category)
VALUES (%s, %s, %s)""", links[0:3]
)
You don't even need to cast the args into a tuple when you use
MySQLdb's parameter handling. It will automatically add quotes to any
string values, and will automatically escape any problematic
characters, such as single quotes, semi-colons, etc.
