Try a newline at the end of the query as :

query = cursor.execute("""INSERT INTO ConfMain (ConfName, ConfHost,
ConfStart, ConfEnd, ConfDays, ConfStartTime, ConfEndTime, ConfSize)
VALUES (\'%s\', \'%s\', \'%%\', \'%%\', %i, \'%%\', \'%%\', %i);\n""" %
(conf_name, host_name, start_day, end_day, int(num_days), start_time,
end_time, aud_size))

I don't remember if it is necessary or not but I've been making it a 
habit of using line continuation if it is a multi-line query
