Is the table actually being updated?
The definition of the cursor.execute() method in
http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0249.html
specifically says "Return values are not defined". So if you are seeing
the database do the right thing I'd stop worrying about the return
value. If exceptions aren't being raised and the database is doing what
you want, what's the problem?
