Python & MySql: Unicode and Encoding

by

I think that your MYSQLdb python library doesn’t know it’s supposed to encode to utf8, and is encoding to the default python system-defined charset latin1.

When you connect() to your database, pass the charset="utf8" parameter. This should also make a manual SET NAMES or SET character_set_client unnecessary.
