The syntax for creating a table in mySql looks like this:

CREATE TABLE my_table_name (my_first_column INT);

This will create the table named "my_table_name" with one column named "my_first_column" of type integer.

To implement this in you can use string formatting

mycursor.execute("CREATE TABLE {} (my_first_column INT)".format(k))

or if you're using >Python3.7 you can use handy f-strings

mycursor.execute(f"CREATE TABLE {k} (my_first_column INT)")

You should also consider sanitzing the users input k to prohibit an SQL-injection.
