And why not also a bug in MySQL? Or a neutrino hitting your CPU
changing a 0 into an 1? Doesn't the Occam razor suggest it may be your
fault? :)

Please, read the fine manual.
if you had read the DBAPI documentation as previously suggested, you
would know that you MUST use "%s" placeholder, not "?" (because
MySQLdb.paramstyle == 'format'). Just replace the placeholder in your
sql string and keep passing sql and values as two distinct arguments.
The second argument of the execute() method MUST be a tuple (or a
mapping for named parameters, but let's stick to the positional ones).
"(pickled_object)" is not a tuple, it is just an object in
parenthesis. To represent a tuple with a single argument you must
write "(pickled_object,)", notice the trailing comma.
Try:
CSRInsert.execute("insert into testobj (obj) values (%s);",
(pickled_object,))
