Try putting "use_unicode=True" in the MySQLdb "connect" call.
See
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1559350&group_id=22307&atid=374932
and look at other charset related bugs at
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=374932&group_id=22307&func=browse
Also note that MySQLdb didn't support this until recently, so check
