	Well... off the wall...

	I'm going to presume the first field -- the Null -- is for a primary
key (autoincrement)...

	What happens if you change the SQL to actually specify the columns
being filled AND you ignore the primary key/Null entry?

	And since I don't like hard-coding the SQL...

cursor.execute("""insert into interactions (someID, action, somedate)
					 values (%s, %s, %s)""",
					(i_id, "Call Back", date_plus_2)	)

Of course you need to use the actual table column names...
