So, after waisting way too much time with UTF-8 and MySQLdb, I'vefinally found a solutution, which seems to work with the newest versionof MySQLdb. You maybe also know this problem with the following errormessage:
"UnicodeEncodeError:'latin-1' codec can't encode character ..."
This is because MySQLdb normally tries to encode everythin to latin-1.This can be fixed by executing the following commands right after you've etablished the connection:
db.set_character_set('utf8')
dbc.execute('SET NAMES utf8;')
dbc.execute('SET CHARACTER SET utf8;')
dbc.execute('SET character_set_connection=utf8;')
"db" is the result of MySQLdb.connect, and "dbc" is the result of db.cursor().
I hope this will help some guys out, not waisting as much time as I did for this issue.
