Peter has given the solution, but just to be clear this has
nothing whatsoever to do with Tkinter v Pythoncard it is
entirely a Sqlite issue. (As is evidenced in the error message.)
Did you use an older version of Sqlite when you wrote the
Pythoncard code perhaps? You probably also used an older
version of Python?
The real mystery is how it worked in the Pythoncard version,
unless, as Peter suggests, you just got lucky and always
passed a single valued item?
Finally, the string formatting solution is never a good
idea for database queries since it is (a) open to injection
attack and (b) liable to generate an incorrect SQL query
which is hard to debug. (ie the query gets executed but
returns different data to what you expected/wanted)
