IndexError: tuple index out of range - string formatting

I am doing a small part of an image and I am trying to do a MySQL insert, but this piece of code throws an error:

curs.execute("INSERT INTO posts(date,replies,title,link,text,userip,username) VALUES('{}',{},'{}','{}','{}','{}','{}');".format((self.date.isoformat(),self.replies,self.title,self.embed,self.text,self.userip,self.username)))

      

And here is the error (running this over Falcon / WSGI):

2015-05-05 17:37:14,135 :Traceback (most recent call last):

2015-05-05 17:37:14,140 :IndexError: tuple index out of range

      

How can I fix this?

You have extra parentheses in your input .format

that does this (treating inputs as a single tuple).

Proof of Concept:

>>> "{}{}".format((1,2))
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
IndexError: tuple index out of range
>>> "{}{}".format(1,2)
'12'

      


So instead of this



curs.execute("INSERT INTO posts(date,replies,title,link,text,userip,username) VALUES('{}',{},'{}','{}','{}','{}','{}');".format((self.date.isoformat(),self.replies,self.title,self.embed,self.text,self.userip,self.username)))

      

do it

curs.execute("INSERT INTO posts(date,replies,title,link,text,userip,username) VALUES('{}',{},'{}','{}','{}','{}','{}');".format(self.date.isoformat(),self.replies,self.title,self.embed,self.text,self.userip,self.username))

      

As @chepner notes in the comments below, the best way to do this is to use below where the %s

cursor is filled using a tuple passed as the second argument to execute:

curs.execute("INSERT INTO posts(date,replies,title,link,text,userip,username) VALUES(%s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s);", (self.date.isoformat(), self.replies, self.title, self.embed, self.text, self.userip, self.username))
