What's wrong with b = [['qqa', 222], ['bbb', 66]] ???

I don't use mysqldb but here are some thoughts:
(1) the v 2.0 DB API says the second arg should be a list of tuples,
not a tuple of lists
(2) and that usage is deprecated -- use executemany() instead.

At first glimpse [like I said, I don't use this and have not visited
the website before now], the author of mySQLdb has put a lot of effort
into the docs e.g.. the executemany() example at the end of this page
answers your question:
http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=32071&group_id=22307#some-examples
... why don't you bother to read the docs???
