I would suggest asking the psycopg2 project why they made this choice, and if they would reconsider. Returning a memoryview doesn't make much sense IMHO. For example, the standard sqlite3 module returns bytes for BLOB columns, and str for TEXT columns: http://docs.python.org/3.4/library/sqlite3.html#introduction > Can anyone explain *why* the results do not compare equal?

Well, under recent Python versions, they should compare equal: Python 3.2.3 (default, Oct 19 2012, 19:53:16) [GCC 4.7.2] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> memoryview(b"abc") == b"abc" True Regards Antoine. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
