No, we don't want to add any intelligence in trying to figure out what
is into a query. If you are comfortable that you will be using always
the same pattern for comments you can easily clean the string yourself
before passing it to psycopg.
A better approach for you I guess would be to use named placeholders,
so that an a missing placeholder wouldn't require you to change the
arguments to execute.

Hi all
This is very minor, but I thought I would mention it.
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.
pyodbc and sqlite3 both work this way, but psycopg2 raises the exception
'tuple index out of range'.
I can live with it, but it means that I have to adjust the parameter
tuple differently depending on which database I am testing with.
If it can be fixed, that would be nice. If it can't, no problem.
