_mysql_connector.mysqlinterfaceerror: python type list cannot be converted

This error occurs when trying to pass a Python list object to a MySQL connector, which is not a valid data type for conversion. MySQL connectors expect the data to be in a specific format that can be directly inserted into a MySQL database.

To resolve this issue, you need to convert the list object to a valid MySQL data type before passing it to the MySQL connector.

Example:


    import mysql.connector

    # Assuming you have the following list
    data_list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

    # Convert list to a valid MySQL data type (e.g., comma-separated string)
    data_string = ','.join(str(x) for x in data_list)

    # Establish a connection to MySQL database
    connection = mysql.connector.connect(
        host="localhost",
        user="your_username",
        password="your_password",
        database="your_database"
    )

    # Create a cursor object to execute SQL queries
    cursor = connection.cursor()

    # Example query using converted data
    query = "INSERT INTO your_table (column_name) VALUES ('{}')".format(data_string)

    # Execute the query
    cursor.execute(query)

    # Commit the transaction
    connection.commit()

    # Close the cursor and connection
    cursor.close()
    connection.close()

In this example, we have a list object called ‘data_list’ containing values [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]. To insert these values into a MySQL database, we convert the list to a string using the ‘join’ function and pass it as a parameter in our query. The resulting query will be “INSERT INTO your_table (column_name) VALUES (‘1,2,3,4,5’)” if the table has a single column called ‘column_name’.
