MySQL Connector/Python 0.1.2-devel is a quick follow-up release for 0.1.1 fixing a few problems around character sets and unicode.

You can download Connector/Python from LaunchPad.

Release notes for MySQL Connector/Python 0.1.2-devel

o Fixing unicode usage for both Python 2.4+ and 3.1  * Setting 'use_unicode' at connection time is now    working.  * conversion.py: removing regular expression for    quoting backslashes.  * Adding test case for bug lp:499410

  Py3k specific:  * Strings from MySQL are decoded to the given character    when use_unicode is false  * The statement is encoded just before sending it to the    MySQL server. Internally, all is done in unicode.  * In conversion.py: removing _unicode_to_mysql, adding    _bytes_to_mysql  * MySQLCursor.__unicode__ is obsolete and replaced    with __str__  * Removing tests for which the methods were deleted.

o Fix setting character set at connection

  * mysql.connector.Connect(charset='latin1') now works    as expected  * Default character set is (still) UTF-8.  * SET NAMES is only used when changing character set    after connecting.    Use MySQL.set_charset(charsetname) to change.  * Test case added for bug report; fixing test case in    test_protocol.py to reflect the new default character    set 'utf-8'.
