Thanks.  That's how I get the table names, actually.  But it doesn't give 
the column names.  

It does give the SQL used to create the table, so I could theoretically 
parse that out.

I suppose I don't actually have a risk in this particular case by using
the python-based "%"  substitution, rather than the DB API "?"
substitution.  The table names come directly out of the schema, with no
opportunity for a user-driven SQL injection. I'd just like to use good
habits from the start.
