for fileName in fileNameList:
         cursor.execute("""SELECT fileSize FROM database where
         database.filename = ?""",  [fileName])
         fileSizes = cursor.fetchall()

The driver is responsible for replacing the ? with the actual value.

Python drivers differ in the kind of placeholders they accept, but 
mxODBC should work fine with the question mark.
