Let me guess... MySQLdb, right?  Whatever you use as the argument
to:

    cursor.execute("select * from mytable where id = %(id)s", arg)

(for example) must follow the dictionary protocol.  If you said:

    cursor.execute("select * from mytable where id = %s", arg)

it could be a "straight" argument; or a tuple if there are more
than one "%s" in the query string.

Hope this helps.
