How to insert data into database using prepared statement query in Django and Python

Question

I need to insert form data into SQLite3 database using prepared statement query in Django and Python. My code is below:

models.py:

class Meeting(models.Model):
    """In this class the columns for Meeting table has declared"""
    room_name = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    from_date = models.DateTimeField(default=datetime.now, blank=True)
    to_date = models.DateTimeField(default=datetime.now, blank=True)
    no_seat = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    projector = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    video = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    created_date = models.DateTimeField(default=datetime.now, blank=True)

Here I have already created the table by migrating. My views.py is below:

import sqlite3
def insert(request):

    """ This function helps to insert all booking data into database """
    conn = sqlite3.connect("db.sqlite3")
    cursor = conn.cursor()
    if request.method == 'POST':
        location_name = request.POST.get('lname')
        rname = request.POST.get('rname')
        seat = request.POST.get('seat')
        projector = request.POST.get('projector')
        video = request.POST.get('video')
        location_name = location_name[0:255]
        rname = rname[0:255]
        seat = seat[0:10]
        from_date = request.POST.get('from_date')
        to_date = request.POST.get('from_date')

Here I need all data should save into the database by running prepared statement query.

Python's SQLite libraries don't have prepared statement objects, but they do allow you to use parameterized queries, and to provide more than one set of parameters.

values_to_insert = [(location_name,rname,........other_fields)]

cursor.execute("""
    INSERT INTO some_table ('location_name', 'rname','..... other_fields')
    VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, total fields = total ? marks)""", values_to_insert)
