Error when creating table with mysqldb module

Error when creating table with mysqldb module

I'm trying to create a table with 2 columns using python's mysqldb module,
but I get an error, what might be wrong here?
cur.execute("CREATE TABLE foreign_crew(id VARCHAR() PRIMARY_KEY, surname
VARCHAR(45))")
Traceback (most recent call last):
