Python MySQLdb string substitution without added quotations

Question

I\'d like to use string substitution for a comma-separated list, such as:

query = \"\"\"SELECT id, name, image_id
           FROM users
           WHERE id IN (%         


        

Answer 1

Let MySQLdb do the entire argument substitution. In this case, the expected argument, values, should be the sequence (1,2,3), rather than the string '1,2,3':

query = """SELECT id, name, image_id
           FROM users
           WHERE id IN %s
           """    
values = uids
results = dbc.getAll(query, [values])

Answer 2

For me it worked this way:

cursor.execute(sql, (pids_list,))

and I made sure that elements of the pids_list are integers and not strings.
