format specifier for bigint of mysql-python

Question

I have my primary key declared as :

id bigint PRIMARY KEY

I want extract a certain id, and want to use it further.

localid = cursor.fetchone()[0]
print type(localid)
query1 = ("Select * from table_name WHERE id= %d;")
cursor.execute(query1, localid)
query2 = ("Select * from table_name WHERE id= 1;")
cursor.execute(query2)

1. type(localid) is printed as int currently, where the fetched value is just 2 or 3 or 45.
2. query1 does not work while query2 does.
3. Is %d the correct specifier? I don't think so.
4. If the number fetched is indeed out of range of the normal int, would %d be right? If not, what to use?

Extra Info: Mysql-python connector package used. Python 2.7

If you are using MySQLdb, you only need %s in the execute function maybe.

Your Mysql-python is MySQLdb indeed.

solution1`:

query1 = ("Select * from table_name WHERE id= %s;")
cursor.execute(query1, (localid,))

Note: If args is a sequence, then %s must be used as the
      parameter placeholder in the query. If a mapping is used,
      %(key)s must be used as the placeholder.

solution2:

query1 = ("Select * from table_name WHERE id= %d;" % localid)
cursor.execute(query1)
