You're right. I didn't spot that the OP may be using an antique:
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/sqlite/main.py"
So the advice has to be augmented:
1. Update to latest pysqlite2 (which BTW is a later version that that
shipped with Python 2.5, just to add some confusion)
2. Pass values as a sequence
