I have a table:

     print (meme,address)
     cur.execute("INSERT INTO TRUCK2  VALUES (%s, %s)", ([meme], [address]))

Assuming you are using psycopg2 the answer is here:

http://initd.org/psycopg/docs/usage.html#passing-parameters-to-sql-queries

so:

cur.execute("INSERT INTO TRUCK2  VALUES (%s, %s)", (meme, address))
or
cur.execute("INSERT INTO TRUCK2  VALUES (%s, %s)", [meme, address])
