Answer 1

How about this?

>>> query = 'INSERT INTO (%s) VALUES (%s)' % (','.join([str(i) for i in list1]),
                                              ','.join([str(i) for i in list2]))
>>> print query
INSERT INTO (name,age,sex) VALUES (test,10,female)

The str is needed because that way, numbers are allowed to be in the list.

Edit: I feel like you could add some effort into this yourself, but anyway. To add quotes, I’d change it to this:

>>> list1 = ['name', 'age', 'sex']
>>> list2 = ['test', 10, 'female']
>>> f = lambda l: ','.join(["'%s'" % str(s) for s in l])
>>> print 'INSERT INTO (%s) VALUES (%s)' % (f(list1), f(list2))
INSERT INTO ('name','age','sex') VALUES ('test','10','female')
