The problem is that in Python, in order to have a tuple with a single
element, you need a comma (it's actually the comma that makes the
tuple, not the parentheses:

>>> print (1,2,3)
(1, 2, 3)
>>> print (1,2)
(1, 2)
>>> print (1)
1 # oops
>>> print (1,)
(1,) # you probably meant this

So you need something like self.__cursor.execute("insert into tabla
(informacion) VALUES (%s);",(asdas,))

The issue is mentioned in the FAQ
(http://initd.org/psycopg/docs/faq.html). In case of problems take a
look there, but you are very welcome to ask your question on the list
in case the docs don't solve your problems.

You are welcome. Cheers
