That might not help... see below.

Right.  UTF-8 is the encoding you want.

I think your problem is that when the MySQL database was created, it was
not created using the UTF-8 mode, but rather latin-1 (despite your
init_command which has nothing to do with database creation).  You'll
want to recreate the database and make double sure you've selected the
right character set and collation:

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/charset-applications.html

At least that should be your first step in debugging this problem.

If the database is indeed utf-8, then you can move on to debugging why
the python code is choosing latin-1 to encode your query string.

That's my two-cents for today.
