Why does the page variable which is actually a string needs to be a tuple or a list and not just as a string which is what it actually is?
I have a strong desire to use it like this:

cursor.execute( '''SELECT hits FROM counters WHERE page = %s''' , page )

opposed to tuple. Would i might facing a problem? Of what? MySQLdb instead of give the whole value to the placeholder to give just a single char?

When there's more than one value you provide a tuple. It's makes sense
from the point of view of consistency that you also provide a tuple when
there's only one value.

Also do i need 3-single-quoting here as well or it can be written qith signle/double quotes?
What appleis to  strings apply to mysql queries as well?

It's just a normal string literal.
