sqlite3.OperationalError: Could not decode to UTF-8 column

[Filipe Sousa]

Hi

I'm trying to use sqlite with python 2.5 but I have this problem:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "converter.py", line 13, in <module>
c_old.execute('select id_aluno, nome from aluno')
sqlite3.OperationalError: Could not decode to UTF-8 column 'nome' with
text 'Ana Margarida Fernandes Gonçalves de Sá'

The database was created with another program and all data is in
database is in latin1.

Thanks,
Filipe Sousa

Try setting

conn.text_factory = str

where conn is the name of your sqlite3 connection object. See
http://docs.python.org/lib/sqlite3-Connection-Objects.html for more
information.
