Not quite, actually. The traceback names a different function. Look in your code for a 'fetchbatchdata' function; it looks like you need to pass the cursor from one function to the other. To further assist, we'd need to see more of the code; but for a guess, I would say that you either need to make cur a function argument, or else (since this is class) an instance member, which you'd reference as 'self.cur'.
