Example of using DECLARE?

I routinely use c.execute() to execute SELECT, INSERT, etc and occasionally
use c.callproc() to call stored procedures.  I have never used DECLARE
before however.  How does that fit into c.execute() or c.callproc() calls?
I didn't see any use in the examples or doc directories.  Can that just get
stuffed into the string passed to execute() or callproc()?

Thanks,
