I can't seem to re-create the problem you seem to be having:

$ python
Python 2.2.2 (#7, Nov 27 2002, 17:10:05) [C] on openunix8
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>> from pyPgSQL import PgSQL
 >>> cx = PgSQL.connect(password='********')
 >>> cx.conn.toggleShowQuery
'On'
 >>> cu = cx.cursor()
QUERY: BEGIN WORK
 >>> arg = '424022'
 >>> cu.execute('select * from a where s = %s;', arg)
QUERY: DECLARE "PgSQL_0819742C" CURSOR FOR *select * from a where s = 
'424022';*
QUERY: FETCH 1 FROM "PgSQL_0819742C"
QUERY: SELECT typname, -1 , typelem FROM pg_type WHERE oid = 23
QUERY: SELECT typname, -1 , typelem FROM pg_type WHERE oid = 25
 >>> cu.close()
QUERY: CLOSE "PgSQL_0819742C"
 >>> query = "select * from a where s = %s;"
 >>> cu = cx.cursor()
 >>> cu.execute(query, arg)
QUERY: DECLARE "PgSQL_081921B4" CURSOR FOR select * from a where s = 
'424022';
QUERY: FETCH 1 FROM "PgSQL_081921B4"
 >>> cu.fetchone()
[152, 3, '424022']
 >>>

Can you provide more detail of what you were doing when the problem occured?
You can show the query being sent to the backend by entering the 
following command:

	cx.conn.toggleShowQuery

Where cx is the connection object.  If you can send the output of a 
python session that shows the error, I will be able to provide more help.
