Yes it works now, I tried inserting japanese text.
The advantage using psycopg is that it's done in C and using
postgresql APIs. I'm unsure about such an advantage.
well I am sure calling value.decode('utf8') is calling a C function
as well. anyway, if its working now im inclined to leave it as its a
simple across-the-board solution, unless you want to submit a patch
that appropriately pulls in psycopg2's version of the function for
the postgres module, but that seems less than ideal since then you
cant have two simultaneous engine connections to a non-utf and a
utf-8-encoded database.
also note there is a Unicode datatype that can be used on a column by
column basis for this translation as well.
