I have a function that returns a complex SQL query and a tuple of
parameters. The query is stored inside the function as a triple-quoted
string, and the parameters are derived depending on the input arguments.

Sometimes while testing I will comment out some of the SQL using '--'. If
those lines happen to contain a parameter placeholder ('%s') I expected to
remove the parameter from the tuple as well.

Could you provide an example?


Sure. Here is my function -

    return sql, params, fmt

"""

You will see 3 occurrences of '{1}'. This is replaced at runtime by the appropriate placeholder, namely '?' for pyodbc and sqlite3, '%s' for psycopg2. One of them is in a line that starts with '--'.

The tuple of parameters has 2 items. It works with pyodbc and sqlite3. Using psyocpg2, it only works if I add a third item.
