Huh? In the OP's example, the table one has one column. I'll openly
admit that I don't know anything about Oracle, but that code doesn't
make sense to me. Maybe you're trying to execute a multi-row insert, but
that would be done with execute(), not executemany(), wouldn't it?

Also, isn't "[(i,)[0] for i in hostlist]" exactly the same as "[i for i
in hostlist]" which in turn is exactly the same as "hostlist"?
