mysql-python - Cannot run a single MySQLdb execute with MySQLdb in Python 3.2.3

Question

I'm about to go nuts with python 3.2.3

Do you see something wrong with the following statement?

cur.execute('''SELECT hits FROM counters WHERE url = ?''', (page,)) 
data = cur.fetchone() 

because as you can see by visiting my webpage at http://superhost.gr it produces an error and I don't know why.

I'm using MySQLdb.

Ι'm using '?' or '%s'; the latter used to work flawlessly with python 2.6, but it does not in python 3.2.3

Both these commands fail in python 3.2.3

cur.execute('''SELECT hits FROM counters WHERE url = ?''', (page,)) 

cur.execute('''SELECT hits FROM counters WHERE url = %s''', (page,)) 

Any idea why?
