How about that one:

def query_subst(sql, parameters):
    return sql, parameters

def load_all(cursor, id, query_add=None):
    query =  'select * from files where catalog = ?'
    parameters = (id,)
    if query_add is not None:
        query += " and " + query_add[0]
        parameters += query_add[1]
    cursor.execute(query, parameters)
    ...

enabled = True
hidden = False
min_date = datetime.date.today()

query_add = query_subst(
    'enabled = ? and hide = ? and date > ?', 
    (enabled, hidden, min_date))

load_all(cs, 42, query_add)

Get over it ;)
