I'm having almost the same problems with wxPython and the pgdb
module. 

But here, those seem to convert my wxStaticText and output data to
UTF-8... 

Sample output from PostgreSQL using pgdb module:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
[['Jorge', 'Godoy'], ['Juliano', 'Godoy'], ['\xc9rica', 'Balaniuc']]
----------------------------------------------------------------------

The '\xc9' should be printed as 'É'. 

The output is correctly shown through psql, though.


I've already added the following statement to my code, as shown in
http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/gnue/gnue/common/src/datasources/drivers/postgresql/pygresql/Driver.py?rev=1.41&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup 

----------------------------------------------------------------------
cursor.execute("SET CLIENT_ENCODING TO 'iso-8859-1')
----------------------------------------------------------------------
(and ISO, Iso, ISO8859-1, etc. variations)

without success. My python source also contains the encoding statement
as in PEP-263.


I'd greatly appreciate some hint.
