It would seem so. Using psycopg:
import psycopg
from psycopg import sql
con = psycopg.connect("postgresql://postgres:postgres@127.0.0.1:5432/test")
cur = con.cursor()
cur.execute("CREATE VIEW public.foobar (alg, hash) AS VALUES ('md5',
%s)", ['test'])
IndeterminateDatatype: could not determine data type of parameter $1
cur.execute(sql.SQL("CREATE VIEW public.foobar (alg, hash) AS VALUES
('md5', {})").format(sql.Literal('test')))
con.commit()
cur.execute("select * from foobar")
cur.fetchone()
('md5', 'test')
