If you (also) experience a problem with executing multiple INSERT statements not getting stored to the database, have a look at my answer to pymysql callproc() appears to affect subsequent selects

However, a little later I found out that my problem was that the exit() was exectued too fast. So, I added a time.sleep(3) before calling exit() - it worked!

import time
time.sleep(3)
cur.close()
conn.close()
time.sleep(3)
exit()

Update: Again, the story has not yet ended … I experienced a similar error later in my script when selecting from the database and not retrieving any results. This doesn't seem related to the mentioned time.sleep(x) behaviour.
