PySqlite client_encoding , stores fine but queries don't return unicode

Hello
I'm having some troubles with PySqlite (0.4.3, windows/linux).

I want to store unicode strings in the database.
So I open a connection with the client_encoding ="UTF-8" parameter.
When I store a unicode string in a table, it seems to work fine.
(a sqlite .dump shows that it encoded the unicode string to UTF-8).

But the problem is that a *query* from the same table, doesn't
return the string contents as a unicode string! Rather, it
returns a normal string that still contains the UTF-8 encoded
bytes...

Is there any way to make pysqlite decode the UTF-8 strings
and return unicode strings automatically ?

Thanks!

Have hit a problem with PySQLite and python 2.3. The new bool type doesn't want to get written properly to a database. I was expecting this to break when I started using True and False in python 2.2, but it didn't. Now there's a little trouble. I changed the _quote function in pysqlite main.py to look like: def _quote(value): if value is None:

In my wxPython-app a part of it gathers data, when a button is pressed, and stores it into a db. The GUI part should display the stuff being stored in the db. When both parts work on the same connection, I get "SQL statements in progress errors". Seems ok to me, you can't do that. So, next step: Both parts get a separate connection. Now I get "Database locked" errors. Hmm, yes, it's GUI stuff after all, being all in the same

I have following experience: After pg_dump mydb > db.out output contains one or more \connect - somebody, but client_encoding is not set. It causes restoration problems on databases with different default client_encoding. I think client_encoding may be set after each \connect. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 8: explain analyze is your friend

Hi all, I'm having difficulty installing pysqlite 2.1.3 on Mac OS X 10.4.4 There are some notes on the pysqlite wiki regarding modification of the setup.py script and I've followed them to no avail. Build and install appear to go smoothly but attempting to run the tests from the python interpreter fails. Likewise any attempt to utilise pysqlite2 in a python script fails.

I have installed "TurboGears" and I would install 'pysqlite' also. I am a user on a Linux machine. If I try to install the 'pysqlite' with 'easy_install' tool I get the next error message. The error message is longer than what I send here. % easy_install pysqlite Searching for pysqlite Reading http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/pysqlite/ Reading http://pysqlite.org/

Hello I'm using pySqlite and can return data using SELECT statement in SQLite ie cursor.execute ('select * from work order by name,ext') which works! but you get an error if you try another SELECT - 'Warning: You can only execute one statement at a time' this causes the error: cursor.executescript ('select * from work where nkey <=9;select * from work where nkey>94 and nkey<100;')

Hi, I try to "build" and "install" pysqlite? After I type "python setup.py build" I get a lot of error messages? The first error is "src/ connection.h:33:21: error: sqlite3.h: No such file or directory". So, I assume that the absence of the "sqlite3.h" is the origin of the problem. I found on the web, that this file should be either in "/usr/local/ include" or in "/usr/local/lib". I check this directories and I really
