never ever do that! Even more when input comes from user.
The correct form is cur.exec("... date = %s group by ...",(date,))

please see dbapi2 documentation or examples which come with
psycopg2.

Do other querys work within your application? Looks like the
components of the db layer are not correctly found. This can
