Be weary of one-element sequences, though. They tend to be
troublesome. The trick we tend to use is

if len(seq) == 1:
    seq.append(seq[0])


BTW, I am not sure you are intended to do

    "select %s from table", (column)

The query arguments are intended to be values for the *where*
clause, no ?
