this is changed in 1.2, from the Connection class docstring: "use_unicode" ''If True, text-like columns are returned as unicode objects using the connection's character set. Otherwise, text-like columns are returned as strings. columns are returned as normal strings. Unicode objects will always be encoded to the connection's character set regardless of this setting.'' -- @prefix foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/> . <#me> a foaf:Person ; foaf:nick "deelan" ; foaf:weblog <http://blog.deelan.com/> . -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
