Is this the docs for the module you're using?
http://mysql-python.sourceforge.net/MySQLdb.html
"""
paramstyle
String constant stating the type of parameter marker formatting
expected by the interface. Set to 'format' = ANSI C printf format
codes, e.g. '...WHERE name=%s'. If a mapping object is used for
conn.execute(), then the interface actually uses 'pyformat' = Python
extended format codes, e.g. '...WHERE name=%(name)s'. However, the API
does not presently allow the specification of more than one style in
paramstyle.

Note that any literal percent signs in the query string passed to
execute() must be escaped, i.e. %%.

Parameter placeholders can only be used to insert column values. They
can not be used for other parts of SQL, such as table names,
statements, etc.
"""

What paramstyle are you using?
