No: the error is that you are composing the query manually instead of
letting psycopg joining the arguments to the query, as cleanly
documented at the very beginning of the manual, from the very first
example.

http://initd.org/psycopg/docs/usage.html

The page explains in details why running

>> > a = """select idbalizas from nuevo.balizas where %s %s %s %s""" % (emp1,
>> > dnid1, mem1, mmsi1)
>> > print
>> > cur.execute(a)

is an amazingly bad idea.
