Lele, iam sorry fot that these days i do nothing, all day long but try to solve 2 issues, one of it being fils.py which this encoding issues. i missed the parentheses because i was tired. Just added it.

I believe that in order to be able to solve this i have to

a) Find out the actual encoding of my greek filenames are into, after the rename took place from english to greek chars at the CentOS. How can i check that

b) Findind out (a) will help tell python to decode 'fullpath' from the weird unknown yet to be discovered encoded bytestream to 'utf-8' like:

cur.execute('''SELECT url FROM files WHERE url = %s''', (fullpath.decode('weird_bytestream') ) )

Is this the right aproach? I went to sleep yesterday and my mind was still bothered with this encoding problem i'm dealing with.
