hello, thank a lot. but when I use: import kinterbasdb kinterbasdb.init(type_conv=300) self.con = kinterbasdb.connect(dsn=os.path.join(module_path(), folder, db), user=usr, password=psw) self.cur = self.con.cursor() select... self.con.close()
I am getting ProgrammingError: Cannot initialize module more than once when I try to use it again. This happens when I use .init(type_conv) Why? Any workaround? thanks. 2012/4/19 Pavel Cisar <pci...@ibphoenix.cz> > ** > > > Hi, > > Dne 18.4.2012 22:58, Peter Irbizon napsal(a): > > > > > I have table with > > USER VARCHAR(100) CHARACTER SET WIN1250, > > NOTE BLOB SUB_TYPE 1 CHARACTER SET WIN1250, > > But when I pick up data from this table with kinterbasdb in python 2.7 > > (# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-) VARCHAR field is ok but BLOB field seems to be > > "corrupted" and I must decode it with decode('cp1250').
