placeholders (at least the pythonic ones) should be escapeable. just try
to write the following query without using the '%%' escape sequence:

    SELECT id, name, type, data FROM zot 
     WHERE name LIKE '%%side' AND type = %s

now, if you can't tell .execute() that the first % is really a % by
using the %% escape, what would you do?

psycopg just uses python rules and correctly manage the %% escape.
