# users is a list of (userid, first_name, last_name, company)
c = db.cursor()
c.executemany("""INSERT INTO users
(userid, first_name, last_name, company)
VALUES (%s, %s, %s, %s)""", users) 
db.commit()

In MySQLdb, this is converted internally to a multi-row INSERT, which is reported to be 2-3 orders of magnitude faster. Also works for REPLACE.
