I'm Peter Roberts, immigration attorney, who does work for YC and startups. AMA

Please stick to a factual discussion in your questions and I'll try to do the same in my answers.

    from sql_tstring import sql

    val = 2
    query, values = sql(t"SELECT x FROM y WHERE x = {val}")
    assert query == "SELECT x FROM y WHERE x = ?"
