well, the database *is* corrupt, since sqlite3 (both the engine and the 
Python binding) expects you to use a supported encoding for the data 
stored in the database:

     http://www.sqlite.org/datatype3.html
     http://docs.python.org/lib/node346.html

the fact that you're able to use an API that doesn't care about 
encodings at all to violate the database requirements doesn't 
necessarily mean that an API that does the right thing is broken...

if you're not able to fix your database, you have to plug in a custom
text_factory handler.  this should work:

     conn = sqlite3.Connect(...)
     conn.text_factory = str
