UPDATE row with ID in Azure SQL table with pyodbc (passing variables)

Question

I am attempting to update an entire row with a specific ID in my azure SQL database using pyodbc. I currently have the below query but know that the syntax is not correct.

 def update_invoice(fullName, invoiceNo, date, address, description, total, invoiceID):
    cursor.execute("UPDATE dbo.customerInvoices (customerName, invoiceNo, invoiceDate, customerAddress, invoiceDescription, invoiceTotal) VALUES(?,?,?,?,?,?,?)", (fullName, invoiceNo, date, address, description, total), "WHERE id=?", (invoiceID))
    cnxn.commit()

As you can see I am passing multiple variables to the query. The query is in 2 parts:

Specifying the columns and what data to enter
Specifying the row to enter the data into

I have used VALUES(?,?,?,?,?) and WHERE id=? in other queries and it works perfectly well. I am just struggling to combine them in 1 query.

Incase this is useful, here is what my table looks like:

That does not look like an UPDATE statement… not sure where you got it from, anyway, here is one that does what you asked.

def update_invoice(fullName, invoiceNo, date, address, description, total, invoiceID):
    cursor.execute(
        """
            UPDATE dbo.customerInvoices 
            SET customerName = ?
                , invoiceNo = ?
                , invoiceDate = ?
                , customerAddress = ?
                , invoiceDescription = ?
                , invoiceTotal = ?
            WHERE id = ?;
        """,
        (fullName, invoiceNo, date, address, description, total, invoiceID)
    )
    cnxn.commit()
