Sure. Here is my function -

You will see 3 occurrences of '{1}'. This is replaced at runtime by the
appropriate placeholder, namely '?' for pyodbc and sqlite3, '%s' for
psycopg2. One of them is in a line that starts with '--'.

The tuple of parameters has 2 items. It works with pyodbc and sqlite3.
Using psyocpg2, it only works if I add a third item.
