Hello, Thanks for your input. I consulted PySqlite's docs :
They have something like Connection.text_factory, which is by default set to Unicode. If it is set to str, that is., connection.text_factory = str, then it wont convert strings to Unicode. I glanced thru SQLA code, but I couldn't find a place where I can pass this option to SQLA so that it can in turn use the above option while obtaining the connection from PySqlite. Please let me know if there is a way of achieving this. Thank!
