How about:

con.execute("""INSERT INTO {} VALUES ({})"""
    .format(table, ",".join("%s" for _ in ilist)), ilist)

Or perhaps break it down into smaller steps:

bind_variables = ",".join("%s" for _ in ilist))
query = "INSERT INTO {} VALUES ({})".format(table, bind_variables)
con.execute(query, ilist)


Hope this helps,
