So if I understand this correctly my new cur.execute would read:

account = 'JPMC'

  cur.execute("SELECT SUM(revusd) FROM sfdc where saccount = %s AND stage LIKE 
'Commit%';",(account ))

Since you are using a tuple this (account ) would need to be (account,) per the docs at link previously posted:

"For positional variables binding, the second argument must always be a sequence, even if it contains a single variable (remember that Python requires a comma to create a single element tuple):"




and that would translate to

cur.execute("SELECT SUM(revusd) FROM sfdc where saccount = 'JPMC' AND stage LIKE 
'Commit%';")

is that right?



Not sure what below is supposed to be about?


Note You can use a Python list as the argument of the IN operator using the 
PostgreSQL ANY operator.
ids = [10, 20, 30]
cur.execute("SELECT * FROM data WHERE id = ANY(%s);", (ids,))
Furthermore ANY can also work with empty lists, whereas IN () is a SQL syntax 
error.

Hello,

I'd like to use a variable for 'Big Company' (e.g. account) or where = 
statements generally in my cur.execute statements:

cur.execute("SELECT SUM(revusd) FROM sfdc where saccount = 'Big Company' AND stage 
LIKE 'Commit%';")
commitd1 = cur.fetchone()
conn.commit()

but I don't know the proper syntax with the cur.execute statement to use a 
variable.

I imagine others do  - thanks!

Best,
