python fabric mysql privileges

Question

Trying to set mysql user privileges with fabric.

run("mysql -u %s -p%s -e 'grant all on %s.* to '%s'@'localhost' identified by 'PASSWORD'" % (user, dbpasswd, account))

Error

TypeError: not enough arguments for format string

Any idea ? Thanks a lot !

run('mysql -u %s -p%s -e "grant all on %s.* to '%s\'@\'localhost' identified by 'PASSWORD'"' % (user, dbpasswd, account, account))

SyntaxError: unexpected character after line continuation character

Answer 1

Change your tuple to (user, dbpasswd, account, user) and you should be good. This error happens because you have 4 replacements tokens (%s) but only have 3 items in your tuple.
