So Basically I was just trying to test this out:

```
import MySQLdb

conn = MySQLdb.connect(host="myhost.com",    user="myusername", passwd="mypassword", db="nameofmydatabase")

query = "INSERT INTO nameofmydatabase (columntitle) values ('sampletext')"
x = conn.cursor()
x.execute(query)
row = x.fetchall()

```

So this is the error that I got. I changed my actual info in the error but I was wondering how to fix this. 

```
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "write2MySQL_test.py", line 3, in <module>
