I wrote a small script:
#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from dabo.dException import DBQueryException
x= DBQueryException("Error Message: øüé", "select foo from bar")
print x
...and it runs without a problem. It simulates what would happen when
the framework receives a database error containing non-ASCII
characters; in this case, using a default UTF-8 encoding.
I'm concerned about your use of str(err) above. If 'err' is a unicode
value, casting it to a string without an encoding specified can cause
lots of those painful unicode bugs.
