Answer 1

you need to commit your statements:

connection.commit()

and you need to add data to your insert statement:

cursor.execute('''insert into user_table (tid, usid) 
                  values ({}, {})'''.format(tid, usid))

(not tested)

UPDATE

i made a baby-example (and tested it):

database setup:

$ mysql -u root
mysql> CREATE USER 'test_user' IDENTIFIED BY 'test_pass';
mysql> CREATE DATABASE test_db;
mysql> CREATE TABLE test_db.test_table (number INTEGER(16), string CHAR(16));
mysql> GRANT INSERT, SELECT, UPDATE, DELETE ON test_db.* TO 'test_user'@'%';
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

# test:
$ mysql -u test_user -D test_db -p

then this python code inserts data (very basic version; no exception handling, no transaction handling):

import mysql.connector as my

connection = my.connect(user='test_user', password='test_pass',
                        host='127.0.0.1', database='test_db')

cursor = connection.cursor()
cursor.execute('''INSERT INTO test_table(number, string) VALUES({}, '{}')
               '''.format(43, 'hello world'))
connection.commit()    

cursor.execute("SELECT * FROM test_table")
print(cursor.fetchall())
connection.close()

note the quotes around '{}' where .format enters a string value.

this uses the following versions:

python3                 3.4.0-0ubuntu2
python3-mysql.connector 1.1.6-1
mysql                   5.5.44-0ubuntu0.14.04.1
