Just to be sure try the _select: print db(db.teachers.t_name!='None')._select(db.teachers.t_name, orderby=db.teachers.t_name, distinct=True)
You will should see same result using the resulting statement under psql. Now the problem seems your database. The collation is wrong, since it's for US: LC_COLLATE = 'en_US.UTF-8' LC_CTYPE = 'en_US.UTF-8' Install proper locales for slovenian restart postgres and create a new database with proper collations.
