This is not your real code. The above would give you a SyntaxError in the 
line

very new to python and have no idea about this any help would be appreciated

The offending line may not be indented correctly:

    def databasebatchcall(...):
        ...
        cur = con.cursor()
        ...
    results = cur.fetchall()

This may be obscured by mixing tabs and spaces. However, without the actual 
code this is nothing but a guess.
