The Binary() wrapper is intended to provide extra information for the database module and marks the intent of the user to have the input parameter be bound to the binding parameter as binary rather than text (e.g. VARBINARY rather than VARCHAR). For Python 2, you'd probably use something like Binary=buffer. On Python 3, Binary=bytes or Binary=bytearray seem like a natural choices. The choice of possible input parameters for Binary() is really up to the database module author. -- Marc-Andre Lemburg eGenix.com Professional Python Services directly from the Experts (#1, Jan 15 2016) >>> Python Projects, Coaching and Consulting ... http://www.egenix.com/ >>> Python Database Interfaces ... http://products.egenix.com/ >>> Plone/Zope Database Interfaces ... http://zope.egenix.com/ ________________________________________________________________________ ::: We implement business ideas - efficiently in both time and costs ::: eGenix.com Software, Skills and Services GmbH Pastor-Loeh-Str.48 D-40764 Langenfeld, Germany.
