Martin v. Löwis <mar...@v.loewis.de> added the comment: This is not a bug. By default, pysqlite decodes all strings to Unicode, assuming UTF-8 encoding (which SQLite assumes when parsing statements).
To override this default, you need to change the connection's text_factory: py> import sqlite3 py> db = sqlite3.connect(':memory:') py> db.text_factory = str py> cur = db.cursor() py> cur.execute("create table foo (x)") <sqlite3.Cursor object at 0xb7cfb500> py> cur.execute("insert into foo values ('café')") <sqlite3.Cursor object at 0xb7cfb500> py> cur.execute("select * from foo") <sqlite3.Cursor object at 0xb7cfb500> py> _.fetchall() [('caf\xe9',)] ---------- nosy: +loewis resolution: -> invalid status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6010> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
