works: sqlite> DELETE FROM external_internal WHERE (internal_ID='esj');

does not work in pysqlite
del_cmd  = "DELETE FROM external_internal WHERE (internal_ID='esj');"
no action

del_cmd  = "DELETE FROM external_internal WHERE (internal_ID=esj);"
pysqlite2.dbapi2.OperationalError: no such column: esj

so, what is the difference between these three?  also ? param and :foo 
substitutes also failed.

huh?  makes no sense to me.
