It is going to help us help you if you can tell us where this error is coming from.

Regardless of what the database server is expecting, the error indicates the Python, somewhere, is trying to encode the data into latin-1 (ISO-8859-1). So you have some more looking for character encoding settings to do. I'm not enough of a MySQL user to be able to put my finger on the right point, but there are plenty of experts on this list, so somebody else might be able to spot it.
