I'm trying to run the following:

  session.query(Activity).filter(Activity.blob == blob).one()

where Activity.blob is a BLOB and blob is a Python bytes object
(equiv. to str in Python 2.x). But although I can insert Activity(blob
= blob) objects fine, the above query fails with:

ProgrammingError: (ProgrammingError) You must not use 8-bit
bytestrings unless you use a text_factory that can interpret 8-bit
bytestrings (like text_factory = str).

This is because blob has to be wrapped with sqlite3.Binary(blob). Why
doesn't sqlalchemy automatically do this casting, given that it has
schema awareness? Is there any way to avoid having to do this for
every such query?

Thanks in advance.
