I'm trying to do a little program for print an user that it was selected in a list. But I don't know how to mix a variable with a query. I tried this but I get an error:

def datos(name):
conn = MySQLConnection(host=DB_HOST,user=DB_USER,password=DB_PASS,database=DB_NAME)
cursor = conn.cursor()
cursor.execute("SELECT nombre FROM clientes WHERE nombre = %s", name)

Error: 

mysql.connector.errors.ProgrammingError: 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '%s' at line 1

    You might find you need to use e.g. ? instead of %s for that system - have you read the manual? Commented Oct 6, 2015 at 15:58
  • No. It doesn't work. I have the same error but ? instead of %s. Commented Oct 6, 2015 at 16:19
