Postgres can handle UTF-8 encoded data.   you would probably be better off 
not encoding stuff into b64 in python and just using postgres to store the 
utf8 data.

The string "12345678" is not base64 encoded.  That was probably an entry 
inserted from another bit of code.

    >>> print base64.b64encode("12345678")
    MTIzNDU2Nzg=

These strings can't be base64 decoded :
    >>> print base64.b64decode("\x4d54497a4e4455324e7a673d")
    >>> print base64.b64decode("x4d54497a4e4455324e7a673d")

This one can :
    >>> print base64.b64decode("4d54497a4e4455324e7a673d")
