In my code I most often use locals() to map the local namespace into a
dictionary:
cursor.execute("SELECT somerow FROM table WHERE otherrow = %(name)s",
locals())
That works as long as there's a local variable named "name" in the local
namespace.

The sybase-python module supports Sybase's "@" thingie in a straightforward
way:
cursor.execute("SELECT somerow FROM table WHERE otherrow = @name",
{"@name": "fred"})
This works for both selects as well as for the input and output parameters
of stored procedures (cursor.callproc).
