providing arguements to queries

is there another way to provide arguements to a query besides tuples? eg.
cur.excute("Select %s from table", (column))
becuase tuples cannot grow or shrink this is VERY limiting, i am in a 
situation right now where i need to select a range of days of week, 
because the length might change using a tuple is a pain.
