some of my sqlalchemy 0.7.3 (with tubrogears 2.1.4) models work with a 
mssql 2005 db using pyodbc.

(No can't change this, don't bother suggesting, this is an enterprise 
financial system, I can just read and write to certain tables there)

the query returned are encoded windows-1255 instead of utf-8
failing to return unicode causes various 'UnicodeDecodeError' error in 
sprox and toscawidgets which I can override manualy by rewriting certain 
lines in the sprox/tw.forms source code but not exactly an optimal solution 

is there a  way to specify in the connection url to convert the data to 
standard unicode encoding?

currently using the following format:

sqlalchemy.second.url = mssql://user:password@SERVER\db

or maybe changing some parameter in the sqlalchemy engine should do the 
trick?



thanks for the help
