Could it be, that your database is not unicode enabled, e.g. utf-8, but, say, latin-1? I don't have experiences with this database this, but I guess, there must be some configure options for this. Would maybe setting the encoding in db.connect(...) work? cf.: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8365660/python-mysql-unicode-and-encoding Hopefully, others might give more reliable suggestions.. hth, vbr
