Hi all,

A bug reporter is suggesting that we change the dbPostgres.py to include 
two lines of code dealing with unicode that use the psycopg2 extensions 
(used only for python 2.x).   The extensions deal directly with unicode 
issues.  Apparently adding the extensions fixed an issue he was having 
with unicode.  The problem of course is I don't know that the lines are 
needed and what effect they will have on existing code.

I'm on Linux, python 2.7 and postgres 9.1.  When I play around with 
unicode (at least what I think is unicode - spanish) I do NOT see an 
issue.  Of course all three items Linux, Python and Postgres use UTF8.  
BTW I'm under the impression that UTF8 = UNICODE.  So from my POV I 
don't see an need.

I know that several issues have come to light for other databases and 
that others have struggled with unicode.  But to be honest I don't know 
much about it.  And to be really honest I doubt I'd be able to test 
encoding.  I'm under the impression that the keyboard setup (along with 
other settings) have to be changed.

So is there someone (who also using postgres) on the list willing to 
play with this issue.
