Sqlite format string

Two possibilities occur to me:

1) the 2nd parameter to execute() usually needs to be a tuple (or 
maybe a list), so try

   cursor.execute("select ...", (user, ))

with the extra comma after "user".



2) More likely, check your sqlite3.paramstyle to see what sqlite 
is expecting (it's defined at the module-level):

   import sqlite3
   print sqlite3.paramstyle

Mine here is set to "qmark" which means that sqlite is expecting

   cursor.execute("... WHERE sid=?", (user,))

instead of the "format" style you're using:

   cursor.execute("... WHERE sid=%s", (user,))

as defined in http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0249/



Hope this helps,
