I ran into a similar issue using MySQL-python-1.2.1_p2-1 (mysqldb) with SA 0.4.2p3-1.
http://www.mail-archive.com/sqlalchemy@googlegroups.com/msg00373.html might shed some more light on this issue which might be a double encoding problem? Here is the subset of relevant keyword arguments we use with that particular database driver in create_engine: create_engine_kwargs = { 'encoding': 'utf-8', 'connect_args': { 'use_unicode': False, 'charset': 'utf8', }, } On Wed, Sep 17, 2008 at 9:57 AM, Jürgen Hauptmann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi > > Im using utf-8 in my mysql tables.
