let me show you whats happening: rawdata = 'Alors vous imaginez ma surprise, au lever du jour, quand une dr\xc3\xb4le de petit voix m\xe2\x80\x99a r\xc3\xa9veill\xc3\xa9. Elle disait: \xc2\xab S\xe2\x80\x99il vous pla\xc3\xaet\xe2\x80\xa6 dessine-moi un mouton! \xc2\xbb\n'
unicodedata = rawdata.decode('utf-8') print rawdata == unicodedata will give you that error message. because you have "convert_unicode=True", the rows returned from your database will be as unicode, not str, objects. dealing with raw utf-8 strings on the other side produces this mismatch. so either dont use "convert_unicode"/sqlalchemy.types.Unicode or insure that you pass only unicode() objects to your object properties. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sqlalchemy" group.
