1064 error on validated SQL

[Adrian Nye]

I'm running this script on MySQL 5.1. I get a 1064 error even though the SQL validates and I have remembered to quote the reserved word that happens to be a column name. The following is the script and then the error Traceback. What could be going on?

import MySQLdb
import sys

if __name__ == '__main__':
try:
conn = MySQLdb.connect (host = "localhost",
user = "root",
passwd = "copters",
db = "birdlist")
except MySQLdb.Error, e:
print "Error %d: %s" % (e.args[0], e.args[1])
sys.exit (1)

cursor = conn.cursor ()

cursor.execute ("""
INSERT INTO lister_species (common_name, scientific_name, "order", ranges, family, scientific_family)
VALUES
('Ostrich', 'Struthio camelus', 'ststss', 'Struthioniformes', 'Ostrich', 'Struthionidae')
""")

cursor.close ()
conn.close ()
