MSQLdb has a use_encoding keyword.
The PostgreSql Django adapter had a set_client_encoding()
method on the connection object.
The native SQLite3 Python module just returns Unicode.

Painful--I couldn't find a good place to hook

Yup, the PEP is encoding agnostic.
I though the path you started down was a good
idea; pass a use_unicode keyword to the connection
__init__().
Then if use_unicode = True, just decode("utf8") the
string in __strip(), otherwise leave code as is.
