I am facing a problem while creating a table in mysqldb using python like this:

cursor.execute("CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS %s ( tweetId VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL, tweet VARCHAR(180) NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY(tweetId) )",('Tutulive')) .

I am getting this error: 

_mysql_exceptions.ProgrammingError: (1064, "You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ''Tutulive' ( tweetId VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL, tweet VARCHAR(180) NOT NULL, PRIMARY' at line 1")

SQL parameters should not be used for metadata. Sanitize the value yourself and insert it into the string normally.
