Be sure to save it as BLOB, not TEXT.
Suppose you have serialized your object as Python bytestring.
serialized = ...
... .execute("insert into mytable(mycolumn) values (?)",
(sqlite3.Binary(serialized),))
This way you will get a BLOB in the form of a Python buffer object when
you later select it from the database, which you can then deserialize to
a Python object.
If you don't go the BLOB way, you may get an exception, because SQLite
assumes all text is UTF-8 encoded, which it isn't necessarily when you
put arbitrary serialized strings into the database.
