python - 'str' object has no attribute 'execute'

First time python user here, be gentle.... ;-) Python 2.6 on OSX Got a class which just has some wrappers around sqlite... here it is ``` from pysqlite2 import dbapi2 as sqlite class SqliteDB: connection = '' curser = '' def connect(self): try: self.connection = sqlite.connect("pagespeed.sqlite") self.curser = self.connection.cursor() except sqlite.Error, e: print "Ooops: ", e.args[0] def find_or_create(self, table, column, value): self.curser.execute("SELECT id FROM ? WHERE ?=? LIMIT 1", (table, column, value)) records = self.curser.fetchall() if records.count() == false: self.curser.execute("INSERT into ? SET ?=?", (table, column, value)) self.curser.execute("SELECT id FROM ? WHERE ?=? LIMIT 1", (table, column, value)) print records ``` and I call it like this in a separate file ``` import sqlitedb def main(): db = sqlitedb.SqliteDB() db.connect url_id = db.find_or_create('urls', 'url', 'http://www.example.com') ``` however I get this error, ``` Traceback (most recent call last): File "update_urls.py", line 17, in <module> main() File "update_urls.py", line 11, in main url_id = db.find_or_create('urls', 'url', 'http://www.example.com') File "....../sqlitedb.py", line 16, in find_or_create self.curser.execute("SELECT id FROM ? WHERE ?=? LIMIT 1", (table, column, value)) AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'execute' ``` So it's almost like self.curser is not getting a curser, or is self not correct? Not to sure if what I am doing is right here.... cheers
