he needs to supply data to the DB as python unicode objects..the strings from the file should be decoded first from ISO-8859.
if he wants to sqlite's "text_factory" feature, he can use a custom connection function described in http://www.sqlalchemy.org/docs/04/dbengine.html#dbengine_establishing_custom .
