looks like the MySQL interface is returning 8-bit strings using ISO-8859-1
encoding (or some variation of that; \xE1 is "LATIN SMALL LETTER A
WITH ACUTE" in 8859-1).

that's not very likely; repr() always includes quotes, always escapes
non-ASCII characters, and optionally includes a Unicode prefix.

in general, no. if you have enough
To be able to decode a string successfully, I need to know what coding
it is in.
The string can be coded in utf8 or in windows-1250 or in another

Is there a method how to find out the string coding.
