通过MySQLdb用Python插入Mysql数据库

Question

This is super basic, but I cannot seem to get it to work correctly, most of the querying I've done in python has been with the django orm .

This time I'm just looking to do a simple insert of data with python MySQLdb , I currently have:

phone_number = toasted_tree.xpath('//b/text()')

try:
    #the query to execute.
    connector.execute("""INSERT INTO mydbtable(phone_number) VALUES(%s) """,(phone_number))
    conn.commit()
    print 'success!'
except:
    conn.rollback()
    print 'failure'
conn.close()

The issue is, it keeps hitting the except block. I've triple-checked my connection settings to mysql and did a fake query directly against mysql like: INSERT INTO mydbtable(phone_number) VALUES(1112223333); and it works fine. INSERT INTO mydbtable(phone_number) VALUES(1112223333); and it works fine.

Is my syntax above wrong?

Thank you

We can't tell what the problem is, because your except block is catching and swallowing all exceptions. Don't do that.

Remove the try/except and let Python report what the problem is. Then, if it's something you can deal with, catch that specific exception and add code to do so.
