MySQLdb module, method executemany with anything other than strings?

[olekristianvillabo at gmail.com]

The method cursor.executemany is there in order to avoid multiple calls
to cursor.execute().

I have tried, with success, to do like every single example (that I
have found on the www) on the subject shows, to use a insert statement
on the form:
statement = INSERT INTO table (colA,colB,colC) values (%s,%s,%s)

and pass in a list containing tuples
list = [('bla','bla','bla'),('bla','bla','bla'),('bla','bla','bla')]

on the form

cursor.executemany(statement,list)

This works fine for all strings, but I have never been able to insert a
single integer or a float using this method. I get an error message
reporting that float (or an int) is required.

Statement is then of course changed to something like
statement = INSERT INTO table (colA,colB,colC) values (%s,%i,%f)
list = [('bla',1,0.65),('bla',3,3.7),('bla',3,0.9)]

Havee anybody experienced similar problems?
Am I doing something wrong?
Any feedback is greatly appreciated.


Here is som real output from the interpreter:
>>> statement = 'insert into testtable3 (url,probability) values (%s,%f)'
>>> l
[('url1', 0.98999999999999999), ('url2', 0.89000000000000001)]
>>> cursor.executemany(statement,l)
