Psycopg2 execute tuple index out of range
<p>I am very new to python and this is my first programming language. This is my first shot at using SQL as well as psycopg2. Any "dumb" advice is much appreciated!</p>

<p>I am not sure what the problem is. My research tells me im feeding too few or too many arguments to the <code>cursor.execute(INSERT...</code> but i have tried a number of different counts and can't seem to get any working correctly. From my point of view the <code>cursor.execute(CREATE...</code> creates a table with 6 columns and i am passing 6 args to it.</p>

<pre><code>from lxml import html  # Used to parse XML
import requests #used to service API request

itemtypeid1 = 34
itemtypeid2 = 35
regionid = 10000002

webpage = requests.get('http://api.eve-central.com/api/marketstat?typeid=%i&amp;typeid=%i&amp;regionlimit=%i' % (
itemtypeid1, itemtypeid2, regionid))

if webpage.status_code == 200:
    data = html.fromstring(webpage.content)
    for item in data.iter('type'):


        buy_dict = {node.tag: node.text for node in item.xpath("buy/*")}
        sell_dict = {node.tag: node.text for node in item.xpath("sell/*")}

        #Variables for output
        itemid = (item.get("id"))
        buymin = buy_dict['min']
        buymax = buy_dict['max']
        buymedian = buy_dict['median']
        buyvolume = buy_dict['volume']
        buyaverage = buy_dict['avg']

#Fail if api webpage unavaliable
else:
        print "Webpage unavaliable"
        Webpage.raise_for_status()
