This release fixes the problem of MySQLdb-1.0.0 and newer returning BLOBs as character arrays, and returns them as strings. It also should be a bit more robust if connections time out.
great
I would really like to get some feedback on this release within the next week so I can make a final release for 2.0.9.
Here's an open issue: Should character data be returned as unicode? It probably wouldn't be hard to implement, but I wonder how much other stuff would break. There's already a ton of stuff being stuffed in the connection string, but it probably needs to be a connection option, doesn't it?
I think it should be unicode, but it must be configurable. Otherwise applikations that do allredy fix problems with unicode could break. Robert
