[BioPython] Help formatting mysqld queries

[Andrew Nunberg]

I wish to execute the following query
d.execute('select start,end from repeat_features where trace_id=%s and
repeat like "%TERT001%"',trace_id)

I can get around this by replacing the %TERT001% with more formatting
Eg 
Like=r¹%TERT001%¹
...and repeat like ³%s²,[trace_id,like]

Is there a way to escape the % formatting character? I tried \ and that
didn¹t work
Andy
