DROPping users in Python

Dropping a user in Python is as easy as passing the MySQL statement through Cursor.execute(). So the syntax is:

DROP USER exemplar@localhost;

This previous syntax can be changed to:

mydb = MySQLdb.connect(host = 'localhost', 
				user = 'root', 
				passwd = 'rootsecret')
cursor = mydb.cursor()
statement = """DROP USER exemplar@localhost"""
cursor.execute(statement)

However, any part of the statement can be dynamically created through the use of string formatting conventions.
