Insert list into my database using Python

I want to insert a list in my database but I can't.

Here is an example of what I need:

variable_1 = "HELLO"
variable_2 = "ADIOS"
list = [variable_1,variable_2]

INSERT INTO table VALUES ('%s') % list

Can something like this be done? Can I insert a list as a value? When I try it, an error says that is because of an error in MySQL syntax
