I have a dictionary of values where the keys are the column names. I want to send a single update statement that included all of the data to update. I loop through the dict keys and then add the corresponding values during the query. I am stuck on how to move forward. Here is what I have:
cart={}
sn = request.form['cartSN']
cart["camera_front_SN"] = request.form['frontCameraSN']
cart["battery_board_SN"] = request.form['batterySN']
cart["speaker_board_SN"] = request.form['speakerSN']
cart["ibcs_SN"] = request.form['ibcsSN']
table = 'cart_info'
sql = 'UPDATE '+table+' SET {} WHERE cart_SN = '+sn+' '.format(', '.join('{}=%s'.format(k) for k in cart))
print(sql)
db = MySQLdb.connect(host="localhost",
user="nope",
password="*******",
db="cart_data")
cur = db.cursor(MySQLdb.cursors.DictCursor)
cur.execute(sql, [cart.values()])
db.commit()
db.close()
When I run this i get the following error:

I am stuck. Also, I don't like this 'your post is mostly code; please add more details". No, my post is mostly error message. However, I would rather include too much error message than not enough.
